Abstract
Cinnamic acid derivative compound was investigated for the anti-cancer inhibitory activity. To be able to obtain compounds that have bioactivity as above, it is needed to study quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) which is the process by which the chemical structure is quantitatively correlated with biological activity/chemical reactivity. Chemical methods used in synthesizing the chemical of methyl trans-cinnamate derivatives are tailored to match their targeted bioactivities. Here, we investigated the anti-cancer inhibitor compound with the method amidation of cinnamic acid derivative compounds. In this reaction we use two steps to get the target product. Firstly, we hydrolize of methyl trans-cinnamate to cinnamic acid. That reaction has a yield 85.5 % and secondly, we amidate of cinnamic acid to metil 2-cinnamamido-3-hydroxy propanoate has a yield of 51.5%. The compound of metil 2-cinnamamido-3-hydroxy propanoate showed against P388 leukemia cells inhibitory activity with IC50 = 10.78 µg/mL.
