Twenty-one isovanillin derivatives were prepared in order to evaluate their cytotoxic properties against the cancer cell lines B16F10-Nex2, HL-60, MCF-7, A2058 and HeLa. Among them, seven derivatives exhibited cytotoxic activity. We observed that for obtaining smaller IC50 values and for increasing the index of selectivity, two structural features are very important when compared with isovanillin (1); a hydroxymethyl group at C-1 and the replacement of the hydroxyl group at C-3 by different alkyl groups. As the lipophilicity of the compounds was changed, we decided to investigate the interaction of the cytotoxic isovallinin derivatives on cell membrane models through Langmuir monolayers by employing the lipids DPPC (1,2-diplamitoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocoline) and DPPS (1,2-diplamitoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoserine). The structural changes on the scaffold of the compounds modulated the interaction with the phospholipids at the air-water interface. These results were very important to understand the biophysical aspects related to the interaction of the cytotoxic compounds with the cancer cell membranes.

An efficient and practical short-chain alkoxylation of unactivated aryl bromides has been developed with special attention focussed on the applicability of the reaction. Sodium alkoxide is used as the nucleophile, and the corresponding alcohol as the solvent. The reaction requires neither precious metals nor organic ligands. It uses a catalytic system consisting of copper(I) bromide as a catalyst, the corresponding alkyl formate as a noncontaminating cocatalyst, and lithium chloride as an additive. A wide range of substrates and test cases highlight the synthetic utility of the approach. Considering the commercial accessibility and affordability of the feedstocks, this protocol shows promise as a new alternative for the sustainable preparation of aryl alkyl ethers.
