In order to develop novel anti-cancer agents, a series of asymmetrical 2,6-bis (benzylidene)cyclohexanone derivatives containing nitrobenzylidene moiety were synthesized and their cytotoxic activity were determined in vitro against MDA-MB 231, MCF-7 and SK-N-MC cell lines using MTT assay. Among the tested compounds, the highest activity against MDA-MB 231 cells was achieved by 2-(3-bromo-5-methoxy-4-propoxybenzylidene)-6-(2-nitrobenzylidene)cyclohexanone (compound 5d). Whereas, compound 5j (the 3-nitro analog of compound 5d) was the most potent compound against MCF-7 and SK-N-MC cell lines. The results indicated that the cytotoxic activity profile against different tumor cells can be optimized by desired 4-alkoxy-3-bromo-5-methoxybenzylidene scaffold.

All possible monothio analogues of the mono-, di-, and triethoxy homologues of mescaline have been synthesized and pharmacologically evaluated in man.Modifications at the ring position para to the ethylamine chain, either with a sulfur atom, a longer alkyl chain, or both, lead to compounds of high central nervous system activity.The 4-n-propoxy and 4-n-butoxy homologues and their corresponding 4-thio analogues were also synthesized and pharmacologically evaluated.The propyl homologues retain high potency, but a butyl group (either with or without a sulfur atom) leads to a decrease in activity.The m-ethyl or m-thio analogues retain some central action but the diethoxy and especially the triethoxy homologues are relatively inactive as psychotomimetic drugs.
