A series of substituted xanthenes was synthesized and screened for activity using DU-145, MCF-7, and HeLa cancer cell growth inhibition assays. The most potent compound, 9 g ([N,N-diethyl]-9-hydroxy-9-(3-methoxyphenyl)-9H-xanthene-3-carboxamide), was found to inhibit cancer cell growth with IC(50) values ranging from

We report the first solid phase synthesis of a xanthone library CX and its application to embryonic stem cell probe development. The CX library was further derivatised with an activated ester resin to provide an acetylated CX (CXAC) library. Screening

Six 2-quinolones, which bear a terminal alkene linked by a three- or four-membered tether to carbon atom C4 of the quinolone, were synthesized and subjected to an intramolecular [2 + 2]-photocycloaddition. The reaction delivered the respective products in high yields
A concise and straightforward strategy to construct a xanthone skeleton via an intramolecular cross-dehydrogenative coupling (CDC) of 2-aryloxybenzaldehydes has been developed. The reaction proceeded smoothly without any need of preactivation of the aldehyde group. It can tolerate various functional groups

Reduction of emodin by sodium dithionite resulted in the formation of two tautomeric forms of emodin hydroquinone. Subsequent conversion by the short-chain dehydrogenase/reductase (SDR) MdpC into the corresponding 3-hydroxy-3,4-dihydroanthracen-1(2H)-one implies that deoxygenation is the first step in monodictyphenone biosynthesis. Implications
