If the Ph3P in the classical CuAAC process was repleaced by Et3N, the formation of small quantities of 5-iodotriazoles (9a-c and 11a-c) was observed. For the preparation of 5-iodo-1,2,3-triazoles (9a-c and 11a-c), an improved method was developed, directly from steroidal azides and terminal alkynes, in reactions mediated by CuI and ICl as iodinating agents. The antiproliferative activities of the structurally related triazoles were determined in vitro with the microculture tetrazolium assay on six malignant human cell lines of gynecological origin (HeLa, A2780, MCF7, MB-231, MB-361 and T47D). X-ray analysis revealed the presence of the iodo substituent on the 1,2,3-triazole ring. SP - 153 UR - http://publicatio.bibl.u-szeged.hu/6926/ SN - 0039-128X EP - 165 AV - restricted ER -
