A wide series of synthetic flavonoids, with druglikeness properties, were developed and evaluated as antitumoral agents against TK-10, MCF-7, and HT-29 human tumoral cells. Comet assay was performed against non-tumoral HK-2 in order to know chromosomal aberrations in normal cells. A QSAR was obtaine...
