A Flexible Strategy for Modular Synthesis of Curcuminoid‐BF2/Curcuminoid Pairs and Their Comparative Antiproliferative Activity in Human Cancer Cell Lines

Abstract A facile protocol that enables synthetic interconversion of CUR‐BF 2 and CUR compounds is described that significantly widens the preparative scope of curcuminoids, providing access to larger libraries of compounds, thus enabling comparative antiproliferative and apoptotic study of a larger library of synthetic analogs in cancer cell lines.
