The microwave-assisted synthesis of four new 5-acetyl-4,7-dimethoxy-6- hydroxybenzofuran (khellinone) analogs is described. The structures of the obtained derivatives in the solid state are evaluated on the basis of 13C CP/MAS NMR spectra and theoretical calculations at DFT level. A single crystal X-ray diffraction structure is presented for 8-acetyl-7-hydroxy- 4-methylcoumarin. 1,4-Bis(5-acetyl-4,7-dimethoxybenzofuran-6-yloxy)butane was evaluated for potential anticancer activity in an in vitro screening panel of 60 human tumor cell lines. Selected leukemia, non-small cell lung cancer, CNS, melanoma, ovarian, and breast cancer cell lines were sensitive to this compound.

Two new series of coumarin and benzofuran derivatives were designed, synthesized, and assessed for their in vitro and in vivo antitumor activities against breast cancer. Compounds 8, 9, 14, 15, and 17 exhibited the best antiproliferative activities (IC50: 0.07?2.94 μM) against the MCF-7 cell line, compared with lapatinib (IC50: 4.69 μM). Compound 14, with the most potent cytotoxic activity against MCF-7 cells, was capable of enhancing preG1 apoptosis and triggering cell cycle arrest at the G2/M phase. The kinase inhibitory activity of compound 14 against a panel of 22 kinases was examined to reveal multikinase inhibition within ?39% to ?97%. Furthermore, compound 14 exhibited potent in vivo Ehrlich (mammary adenocarcinoma) tumor regression, positive caspase-3, and negative EGFR immunoreaction, and was capable of elevating the catalase level. The physicochemical properties and pharmacokinetic parameters of compound 14 were investigated in silico for its druglikeness.

New coumarin derivatives 9a–f, 10a–e, and 11a–f were synthesized and evaluated for their cytotoxic activity against a human breast cancer cell line (MCF-7). All compounds exhibited good activity in the nanomolar range, using doxorubicin and erlotinib as positive controls. The most active compound 9d with IC50 of 21 nM was tested against the HCT-116, HepG-2, A549, and SGC-7901 cell lines, with IC50 values of 0.021, 0.170, 0.028, and 0.11 μM, respectively. Compound 9d was further investigated for its ability to suppress the expression of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR). Compound 9d decreased the concentration of EGFR by 87%, using erlotinib as a positive control. A docking study revealed similar or higher scores than for erlotinib and similar binding poses providing interactions with the hinge region of the tyrosine kinase (TK). Besides the effect on expression, this in silico investigation predicts the possibility of direct binding between the new coumarin derivatives and the EGFR TK. Moreover, computational calculation for ADME properties for the most active compounds 9d, 9e, 10c, and 11c revealed the expected high gastrointestinal tract absorption, moderate water solubility with no central nervous system toxicity, and druglikeness.
