Abstract

Triphenylmethylamides (TPMAs) have been previously identified as compounds that arrest cells in the G1-phase of the cell cycle and induce apoptotic death in melanoma cell lines in culture. Here we report the synthesis of a series of TPMA derivatives, allowing the structure– activity relationship of this class of molecules to be established. Several new compounds have been identified that induce death in UACC-62 and SK-MEL-5 human melanoma cell ...
