Abstract
A new concatenation of N-(1-(4-bromophenyl)ethyl)-2-phenoxyacetamide and N-(1-(4-methoxyphenyl) ethyl)-2-phenoxyacetamide derivatives having 2-phenoxy-N-(1-phenylethyl)acetamide nucleus as common in both the types was synthesized for the sake of achieve titled compounds as potential cytotoxic, anti-inflammatory, analgesic and antipyretic agents. All the novel derivatives have been synthesized through multi-step reaction sequence starting from Leuckart reaction. The structural assignments of the new compounds have been determined by virtue of their IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR, elemental analysis and mass spectrum analysis. All the synthesized compounds were assessed for cytotoxicity and anti-inflammatory, analgesic and antipyretic effects. Among the series, compounds 3a, 3c, 3g and 3h possess cytotoxic, anti-inflammatory, analgesic and antipyretic activities comparable with standard drugs. The synthesized compounds were found to be active because of the presence of bromo, tert- butyl and nitro groups at position 4 of phenoxy nucleus.
Keywords: Anti-inflammatory, anti cancer, analgesic, anti pyretic, phenoxyacetamide.

Induction of cell death in cancer cells by modulating telomerase activity using small molecule drugs
Telomeres are distinctive but short stretches present at the corners of chromosomes and aid in stabilizing chromosomal makeup. Resynthesis of telomeres supported by the activity of reverse transcriptase ribonucleoprotein complex telomerase. There is no any telomerase activity in human somatic cells, but the stem cells and germ cells undergone telomerase ...read more
