Novel Phenylmethylenecyclohexenone Derivatives as Potent TrxR Inhibitors Display High Antiproliferative Activity and Induce ROS, Apoptosis, and DNA Damage.

abstract：:A structure-activity relationship around the amine group of the ambruticin VS series has been developed for antifungal activity. It was shown that the amine can be alkylated through reductive amination without loss of potency. However, if it is converted into either an amide, carbamate, or urea, a significant loss of ...
