SKLB-23bb (Compound 23bb) presents low nanomolar antiproliferative effects against panel of cancer cell lines. The antiproliferative activity is ton human malignant melanoma A375 cells and cervical cancer HeLa cells, SKLB-23bb shows the most potent activities with IC50 values of 50 and 49 nM on A375 and HeLa cells, respectively. The antiproliferative activities against 11 kinds of hematological tumors (myelomaU266, RPMI8226 cells, human leukemia MV4-11, K562 cells, and human B cell lymphoma Ramos cells) or solid tumors (ovarian cancer A2780s, SKOV-3 cells, breast cancer SKBR3 cells, liver cancer HepG2 cells, lung cancer H460, A549 cells, cervical cancer HeLa cells and colon cancer HCT116, HT29 cells) cell lines of SKLB-23bb are evaluated by MTT, and the SAHA and ACY-1215 are as positive control. SKLB-23bb shows significant antiproliferative potential with the IC50 values ranging from 14 to 104 nM in these tumor cell lines.
