The in vitro antiproliferative activity of most compounds against main cancer cell lines is significant. The σ 1, σ 2-receptors and sodium channels binding affinity of compounds 2 were investigated. One of the most active analogs, 2a, had an interesting in vivo anticancer profile against the BxPC-3 and Mia-Paca-2 pancreas cancer cell lines with caspase-3 activation, which was associated with an anagelsic activity against the neuropathic pain. © 2012 Elsevier Ltd.
