Abstract

Nuclear factor-${\kappa}B$ (NF-${\kappa}B$) has been considered as one of the major targets for therapeutic agents of diverse human diseases. In the previous studies, 6-hydroxy-7-methoxychroman-2-carboxylic acid N-phenylamide (KL-1156) and chroman-2-carboxylic acid N-(4-chlorophenyl)amide were identified as good inhibitors of NF-${\kappa}B$ activation. In this continuous study, we describe the synthesis and NF-${\kappa}B$ inhibitory activities of chroman derivatives containing N-heteroaryl groups for exploration of SAR (structure-activity relationship). In addition, inhibitory effects of cell proliferation are evaluated against human cancer cell lines (NCI-H23 and PC-3).
