Data confidence 85 high
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

New phosphonium salts synthesized from 5-chloromethyl-8-methyl-7-azacoumarin-3-carboxamides and triphenylphosphine upon the Wittig reaction with aromatic aldehydes give the corresponding 5-styryl-7-azacoumarin derivatives. The cytotoxic activity of some phosphonium salts against cancer cell lines M-HeLa and HuTu-80 is equal to or superior to that of the reference 5-fluorouracil. The IC50 and SI values of the leading compounds exceed those for 5-fluorouracil by a factor of 3.7 and 2.2, respectively.
