Abstract: A method for inhibiting proliferation of cancer cells includes contacting the cancer cells with a cytotoxic effective amount of an anticancer compound of Formula (I); where R1 to R8 are each independently selected from a group consisting of a hydrogen atom, a halogen atom, and an optionally substituted alkyl. The anticancer compound exhibits an IC50 of from 2 micrograms per milliliters (?g/ml) to 10 ?g/ml for inhibiting the proliferation and inducing the apoptosis of cancer cells.

Abstract: A method of treating cancer in a subject in need thereof includes administering to the subject a therapeutically effective amount of the compound of formula (I) or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, where each of R1-R4, R5A-R7A, and R5B-R7B is independently selected from a hydrogen atom, a halogen atom, a nitro group, a cyano group, a hydroxyl group, an alkoxy group, an optionally substituted alkyl group, an optionally substituted cycloalkyl group, an optionally substituted arylalkyl group, and an optionally substituted aryl group.

Abstract: A method for cytotoxically treating cancer cells includes contacting the cancer cells with a composition comprising a compound of Formula I. The compound of Formula I is contacted with the cancer cells in an amount effective to reduce the number of cancer cells by at least 50%. A method for preparing the compound of Formula I.
