Synthesis and in vitro cytotoxic evaluation of new triazole derivatives based on artemisinin via click chemistry

The paper presents the synthesis of new artemisinin triazole derivatives via click chemistry and their in vitro cytotoxic evaluation against four cancer cell lines including MCF-7, LU-1, HL-60 and P388. The bioassay result showed that most of the target compounds were active against four cell lines, in which compounds 11g displayed the most potent inhibitory activity against HL-60 cell line with IC50 value of 2.5 μM.
