Structure–Activity Relationship and Pharmacokinetic Studies of 1, 5-Diheteroarylpenta-1, 4-dien-3-ones: A Class of Promising Curcumin-Based Anticancer Agents
Forty-three 1, 5-diheteroaryl-1, 4-pentadien-3-ones were designed as potential curcumin mimics, structurally featuring a central five-carbon dienone linker and two identical nitrogen- containing aromatic rings. They were synthesized using a Horner–Wadsworth–Emmons
