Abstract

4′-Ester analogs of the disease preventative agent resveratrol were synthesized and evaluated for their potential as anti-melanoma and pancreatic cancer agents. A decarbonylative Heck coupling was used to assemble the protected stilbene core structure. The 4′-acetate and the palmitoate analogs demonstrated selective activity with DM443 and DM738 cells over normal NHDF cells.
