Abstract: Protein phosphatase Cdc25C dephosphorylates the mitotic kinase CDK1 cyclin B, and then triggers the cell cycle progression. Overexpression of Cdc25C is detected in some cancer cells, which made it to be a potential target for anti-cancer drugs. Through Cdc25C assay, compounds 1 - 8 were found to be new natural inhibitors against Cdc25C with IC50 s of 1.66 - 75.07
μmol/L. Moreover , 3 , 4 , 5 and 7 exhibited cytotoxicities on a panel of ten cancer cell lines with IC50 s below 10μg/mL.

Key words: Cdc25C
