RESUMO
A series of 1,2-dihydronaphtho[2,1-b]furan derivatives were synthesized by cyclizing 1-(aryl/alkyl(arylthio)methyl)-naphthalen-2-ol and pyridinium bromides in the presence of 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene (DBU) in very good yield. The synthesized compounds were evaluated for their anti-proliferative potential against human triple negative MDA-MB-468 and MCF-7 breast cancer cells and non-cancerous WI-38 cells (lung fibroblast cell) using MTT experiments. Among 21 synthesized compounds, three compounds (3a, 3b and 3 s) showed promising anti-cancer potential and compound 3b was found to have best anti-proliferative activities based on the results of several biochemical and microscopic experiments.

A wide variety of dithioacetal derivatives of sugars can be cleaved easily into the corresponding open-chain aldehydo sugars using an efficient combination of VO(acac)(2)/H(2)O(2)/NaI at 0-5°C. Some of the salient features of this protocol are mild reaction conditions, good yields, short reaction times, easy work-up procedures, and non-involvement of toxic chemicals.
