In this study, several novel acridone derivatives were synthesized and characterized by\n                    <jats:sup>1<\/jats:sup>\n                    H NMR,\n                    <jats:sup>13<\/jats:sup>\n                    C NMR, HRMS and FT\u2010IR, and their\n                    <jats:italic>in vitro<\/jats:italic>\n                    anticancer activity was evaluated combined with systematic theoretical calculations. Of these derivatives,\n                    <jats:bold>6a<\/jats:bold>\n                    demonstrated antiproliferative activity against the HGC\u201027 gastric cancer cell line (IC\n                    <jats:sub>50<\/jats:sub>\n                    = 4.86 \u00b5M) in comparison with the HeLa cervical cancer cell line and the HCT116 colon carcinoma cell line. Furthermore, morphological assessment under an inverted microscope revealed that it induced apoptosis like morphological changes. Density functional theory calculations were employed to gain insight into the electronic structure and intramolecular interactions of these compounds. Molecular docking studies revealed that compound\n                    <jats:bold>6a<\/jats:bold>\n                    binds to the gastric cancer target protein (4OUM) through hydrogen bonds with Arg1106 and Asn1057, which contribute to its enhanced binding affinity (\u22125.59\u00a0kcal\/mol). This binding energy is consistent with its potent antiproliferative activity, establishing a correlation between the computational prediction and the experimental observation. Taken together, these results indicate that compound\n                    <jats:bold>6a<\/jats:bold>\n                    represents a promising lead for the development of novel anticancer agents.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1002\/cbdv.71593","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,21]],"date-time":"2026-08-21T11:14:11Z","timestamp":1787310851000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Synthesis and\n                    <i>In Vitro<\/i>\n                    Anticancer Activity of New Acridone Derivatives: Computational DFT and Molecular Docking Studies"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"23","author":[{"given":"Shu\u2010Lin","family":"Zhang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Chemistry and Materials Guangxi Minzu Normal University  Chongzuo China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jiayan","family":"Chen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Marine Sciences Beibu Gulf University  Qinzhou China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jiajia","family":"Lan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Chemistry and Materials Guangxi Minzu Normal University  Chongzuo China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Lin","family":"Mao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Marine Sciences Beibu Gulf University  Qinzhou China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Cai\u2010Xing","family":"Deng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Chemistry and Materials Guangxi Minzu Normal University  Chongzuo China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Qifu","family":"Lin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Marine Sciences Beibu Gulf University  Qinzhou China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7549-1890","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Peng","family":"He","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Marine Sciences Beibu Gulf University  Qinzhou China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Guangjin","family":"Zheng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Chemistry and Materials Guangxi Minzu Normal University  Chongzuo China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Danni","family":"Xu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Chemistry and Materials Guangxi Minzu Normal University  Chongzuo China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ju","family":"Huang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Chemistry and Materials Guangxi Minzu Normal University  Chongzuo China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Lei","family":"Huang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Chemistry and Materials Guangxi Minzu Normal University  Chongzuo China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Wenfeng","family":"Zhuge","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Chemistry and Materials Guangxi Minzu Normal University  Chongzuo China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3175-2956","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Zuzhuang","family":"Wei","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Chemistry and Materials Guangxi Minzu Normal University  Chongzuo China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,21]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_9_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/s12929-025-01209-8"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/s12951\u2010026\u201004059\u20100"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_4_1","first-page":"1","article-title":"Role in Tumor Progression and Pain Associated With Tumor and Anticancer Therapy","volume":"6","author":"Brusco I.","year":"2025","journal-title":"Medicinal Research Reviews"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/slct.202501168"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_6_1","first-page":"1","article-title":"Chitosan\u2010Based Materials: A Comprehensive Review on Anticancer Drug Development","volume":"21","author":"Faris J.
