Synthesis of damnacanthal, a naturally occurring 9,10-anthraquinone and its analogues, and its biological evaluation against five cancer cell lines

Damnacanthal and nordamnacanthal, two naturally occurring 9,10-anthraquinones, and their analogues were synthesized. Cytotoxic activity against five cancer cell lines was evaluated using MTT assay. 2-Bromomethyl-1,3-dimethoxyanthraquinone was found to display the highest activity against all cell li...
