Novel structurally similar chromene derivatives with opposing effects on p53 and apoptosis mechanisms in colorectal HCT116 cancer cells

In the present work, novel chromene derivatives fused with the imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine nucleus were tested for their anticancer potential in the human colorectal cancer HCT116 cells. Compounds 2a and 2c showed significant growth inhibitory activity with GI50 of 15 mu M and 11 mu M, respectively. Comp...
