A systematic study to identify the factors influencing the cytotoxicity of α-methylene-γ-hydroxy esters against three pancreatic cancer cell lines (Panc-1, MIA-PaCa-2, and BxPC-3) has established that, in addition to Michael acceptor abilities, the possibility to lactonize to α-methylene-γ-butyrolactones is as important. The substitution pattern and the number of carbons between the hydroxy and ester moieties also influence the bio-activity.
