Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 2007 Aug 15;17(16):4428-31. doi: 10.1016/j.bmcl.2007.06.024. Epub 2007 Jun 10.

Abstract

A series of new bisphenol derivatives bearing allylic moieties were synthesized as potential analogs of honokiol and/or magnolol. Certain compounds exhibited specific anti-proliferation activity against SVR cells and moderate anti-HIV-1 activity in primary human lymphocytes. Compound 5h was the most potent compound and its anti-tumor activity was evaluated in vivo.
