Abstract

Despite its teratogenic effects, thalidomide has been reintroduced in human anticancer treatment for its anti-angiogenic activity, especially observed in patients with multiple myeloma. Here, we report the synthesis of new analogues designed to increase the thalidomide anti-tumour properties. The anti-angiogenic activity of the compounds was tested on EA.hy 926 endothelial cell lines. In this model, that is easier to manipulate than HUVEC cells, thalidomide is active in a similar dose range as reported on HUVEC cells and one of our compounds is more efficient.
