Synthesis, Characterization and Cytotoxic Studies of Benzamide Derivatives of Anacardic Acid using Human Liver Cancer Cells

Naturally occurring anacardic acid based benzamides were reported to show anti-inflammatory and anticancer activities, where we synthesized and characterized by NMR and HRMS analysis and also tested a series of anacardic acid based benzamides and evaluated against the proliferation of human liver cancer cells (HepG2). Among the tested compounds, 6j-m showed good inhibitory activity against HepG2 cells with IC50 values ranging from 78.2-91.9 μM. In conclusion, we herein reported the newer series of an academic acid benzamides for the first time.
