Inhibition of Tumor Cell Proliferation In Vitro by Benzamide Derivatives

Abstract

Benzamide derivatives have been shown to have antitumor activity in various tumor cell lines in vitro as well as in vivo. In this study, we examined the anti-proliferative effect of four benzamide derivativeson Hela, H7402, and SK-RC-42 tumor cell lines in vitro by means of Real-Time cell assay (RTCA), and found that four benzamide derivatives suppressed proliferation of tumor cells in a time-and dose-dependent manner. The anti-proliferative activity of benzamide derivatives demonstrated that theycould be promising lead compounds for developing therapeutic agents for malignant tumors.
