Abstract

A series of chrysin derivatives were prepared from 2-hydroxyacetophenone, 2, 4- dihydroxyacetophenone, 2, 4, 6-trihydroxy-acetophenone, using modified Baker- Venkataraman transformation. Their anticancer activities in vitro were evaluated by the standard MTT method. The results of biological test showed that some of chrysin derivatives showed stronger anticancer activity than 5-fluorouracil.
