A diverse library of chromene-xanthene hybrids were synthesized through intramolecular Friedel-Crafts reaction of the arenoxy carbinols. Examples include first incorporation of amino acid tyrosine into xanthene skeletons with polar functionalities. A careful structural evaluation revealed that tyrosine crafted chromene-xanthene hybrids exhibited good activities against breast cancer cell lines MCF-7, MDA-MB-231. The lead compound 16 displays significant cell cycle arrest at G1 phase and induces apoptosis in MDA-MB-231 cells.
