Abstract

A series of new cinnamanilides (6-40) were synthesized and their immunosuppressive activity and cytotoxicity were evaluated. Most of the cinnamanilides showed good immunosuppressive activity. Among the synthesized compounds, (Z)-N-(4-bromophenyl)-2-methoxy-3-(4-methoxyphenyl)acrylamide (37) and (Z)-2-methoxy-3-(4-methoxyphenyl)-N-p-tolylacrylamide (38) exhibited potent immunosuppressive activity (IC 50 = 1.77 ± 0.33 and 0.94 ± 0.13 μM) without significant cytotoxicity.
