Synthesis and structure-activity relationships of novel furazan-3,4-diamide analogs as potent anti-cancer agents.

This study describes the synthesis and structure-activity relationships of a series of furazan-3,4-diamide analogs. 1,2,5-Oxadiazole ring and electron-withdrawing substituent on the phenyl ring are proposed to be the important elements which contribute to a significant extent maximal potency of anti-proliferation effect.
