The synthesis of the adamantane phenylalkylamines 2a鈥?b>d, 3a鈥?b>c, and 4a鈥?b>e is described. These compounds exhibited significant antiproliferative activity, in vitro, against eight cancer cell lines tested. The 蟽1, 蟽2, and sodium channel binding affinities of compounds 2a, 3a, 4a, and 4c鈥?b>e were investigated. The most interesting analogue, 4a, exhibited significant in vivo anticancer profile on pancreas, prostate, leukemia, and ovarian cancer cell line xenografts together with apoptosis and caspase-3 activation. Inhibition of the cancer cells cycle at the sub-G1 level was also obtained with 4a. Finally, encouraging results were observed with 4a in vivo on mice, suggesting putative antimetastatic and analgesic activities of this compound.
