One-pot acid-catalysed synthesis of bis(1-imidazo[1,5-a]pyridyl)arylmethanes and evaluation of cytotoxic activities†
Abstract
A practical and efficient approach for the acid-catalysed synthesis of bis(1-imidazo[1,5-a]pyridyl)arylmethane (BimPy) derivatives has been described. Interestingly, these BimPys showed potential cytotoxicity against various cancer cell lines (SK-LU-1, MCF-7, HepG2).
