Cinnamic acids have been identified as interesting compounds with antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and cytotoxic properties. In the present study, simple cinnamic acids were synthesized by Knoevenagel condensation reactions and evaluated for the above biological activities. Compound 4ii proved to be the most potent LOX inhibitor. Phenylsubstituted acids showed better inhibitory activity against soybean LOX, and it must be noted that compounds 4i and 3i with higher lipophilicity values resulted less active than compounds 2i and 1i. The compounds have shown very good activity in different antioxidant assays. The antitumor properties of these derivatives have been assessed by their 1/IC50 inhibitory values in the proliferation of HT-29, A-549, OAW-42, MDA-MB-231, HeLa and MRC-5 normal cell lines. The compounds presented low antitumor activity considering the IC50 values attained for the cell lines, with the exception of compound 4ii. Molecular docking studies were carried out on cinnamic acid derivative 4ii and were found to be in accordance with our experimental biological results.

The synthesis and properties of eight new hydroxamic acids derived from α-phenylstyrylacrylic acids are described. These hydroxamic acids, which are crystalline compounds, were characterized by their ultraviolet, infrared, and NMR spectra. The purity was checked by HPLC and HPTLC. The nonaqueous titrations and alkaline hydrolysis are reported. Thermodynamic ionization constants at (25 and 35 +/- 0.1) deg C are determined. Preliminary studies show that these acids form a chloroform-extractable violet complex with vanadium(V) in 6 M hydrochloric acid solutions.
