    Abstract:
    Several new acetyl-4H,9H-naphtho[2,3-b]thiophene-4,9-diones were synthesized and evaluated for in vitro cytotoxicity by NCI against seven cancer cell types. 2,7-Diacetyl naphtho[2,3-b]thiophene-4,9-dione (9) showed significant cytotoxicity against leukemia cells with log GI50 values of -7.61 against SR cells and -7.18 against MOLT-4 cells. 3-Acetyl-naphtho[2,3-b]thiophene-4,9-dione (6) also demonstrated potent cytotoxicity in the latter cell line with log GI50 < -8.
