They all exhibit specific but moderate activity as inhibitors towards a-mannosidase from Jack beans. Compounds 7 and 8b bearing hydroxymethyl and trifluoromethylbiphenyl groups show the best antiproliferative effect in two pancreatic cancer cell lines.Synthesis Of Pyrrolidine 3,4-Diol Derivatives With Anticancer Activity On Pancreatic Tumor Cellstext::journal::journal article::research article
