Caffeic acid phenethyl ester (CAPE) was synthesized from caffeic acid and phenethyl alcohol (ratio 1:5) at room temperature with dicyclohexyl carbodiimide (DCC) as a condensing reagent. The yield was about 38%. CAPE was found to arrest the growth of human leukemia HL-60 cells. It also inhibits DNA, RNA and protein synthesis in HL-60 cells with IC50 of 1.0 microM, 5.0 microM and 1.5 microM, respectively.

D018922	HL-60 Cells	A promyelocytic cell line derived from a patient with ACUTE PROMYELOCYTIC LEUKEMIA. HL-60 cells lack specific markers for LYMPHOID CELLS but express surface receptors for FC FRAGMENTS and COMPLEMENT SYSTEM PROTEINS. They also exhibit phagocytic activity and responsiveness to chemotactic stimuli.
