In the present study, we prepared a series of 21 chromone carboxamide derivatives bearing diverse amide side chains. Their potency to inhibit the proliferation of breast (MCF-7), ovarian (OVCAR and IGROV), and colon (HCT-116) cancer cell lines, was evaluated in vitro using the MTT assay. Among these compounds, 13 showed promising cytotoxic activity against at least one cancer cell line with IC50 in the range 0.9–10 μM. Our compounds were also screened for their anti-inflammatory activity as putative inhibitors of 5-lipoxygenase.
