Synthesis and antiproliferative activity of CBD aromatic ester derivatives.

This study involved the synthesis of a series of novel cannabidiol (CBD) aromatic ester derivatives, including CBD-8,12-diaromaticester derivatives (compounds ) and CBD-8,12-diacetyl-21-aromaticester derivatives (compound ). The antiproliferative activities of these compounds against human liver cancer cell lines HePG2 and HeP3B as well as human pancreatic cancer cell lines ASPC-1 and BXPC-3 were evaluated using the CCK-8 assay. The results indicated that compound exhibited an IC value of 2.
