Cytotoxic and carbonic anhydrase (CA) inhibitory effects of the compounds were investigated. Cytotoxicity results pointed out that compound 4, 6-[3-(4-trifluoromethylphenyl)-2-propenoyl]-3H-benzoxazol-2-one, showed the highest cytotoxicity (CC50) and potency-selectivity expression (PSE) value, and thus can be considered as a lead compound of this study. According to the CA inhibitory results, IC50 values of the compounds 1每8 towards hCA I were in the range of 29.74每69.57ˋ米M, while they were in the range of 18.14 每 48.46ˋ米M towards hCA II isoenzyme. Ki values of the compounds 1每8 towards hCA I were in the range of 28.37ˋ㊣ˋ6.63每70.58ˋ㊣ˋ6.67ˋ米M towards hCA I isoenzyme and they were in the range of 10.85ˋ㊣ˋ2.14 每 37.96ˋ㊣ˋ2.36ˋ米M towards hCA II isoenzyme %U https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/14756366.2019.1670657
