A series of 2,6-dimethoxylpyridinyl phosphine oxides have been synthesized and examined for their antitumor activity. 2,6-Dimethoxy-3-phenyl-4-diphenylphosphinoylpyridine 2 has been employed as the lead compound for this study. We found out that the presence of phosphine oxide on the 2,6-dimethoxylpyridine ring is important for the antitumor activity; the presence of bromine on this core leads to a further enhancement of its antitumor activity.

Abstract
A series of 2,6-dimethoxylpyridinyl phosphine oxides have been synthesized and examined for their antitumor activity. 2,6-Dimethoxy-3-phenyl-4-diphenylphosphinoylpyridine 2 has been employed as the lead compound for this study. We found out that the presence of phosphine oxide on the 2,6-dimethoxylpyridine ring is important for the antitumor activity; the presence of bromine on this core leads to a further enhancement of its antitumor activity. This is the first reported work on the antitumor activity of the 2,6-dimethoxy-3,5-dibromopyridinyl phosphine oxide 5b towards MDAMB-231 breast cancer and SKHep-1 hepatoma cell lines.File in questo prodotto:
