4-Amino-2H-benzo [h] chromen-2-one (ABO) and 4-amino-7, 8, 9, 10-tetrahydro-2H-benzo [h] chromen-2-one (ATBO) analogs were found to be significant in vitro anticancer agents in our previous research. Our continuing study has now discovered a new simplified (monocyclic rather than tricyclic) class of cytotoxic agents, 4-amino-2H-pyran-2-one (APO) analogs. By incorporating various substituents on the pyranone ring, we have established ...
