The invention claimed is:
1. A method for treating a bone cancer in a subject, the method comprising administering to the subject in need thereof an effective amount of a composition comprising a compound defined by Formula 1 below or the pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof as an active ingredient:
wherein, R1 and R2 are different from each other,
R1 and R2 are each independently selected from the group consisting of —H, —OH, —SH, C 1-4 straight or branched alkyl, C 1-4 straight or branched alkoxy, halogen, allyloxy, benzyloxy, aryloxy having one or more selected from the group consisting of hetero atoms and substituents, and heterocycloalkyl of 3 to 7 atoms having one or more hetero atoms, wherein the hetero atoms consist of
0, N and S;
R3 is one selected from the group consisting of Ci-4 straight or branched alkyl, —NH 2 , —NHR4, —N(R4) 2 , and —OH; and
R4 is C 1-4 straight or branched alkyl,
wherein the compound defined by Formula 1 is selected from the group consisting of the following compounds;
(1) (E)-4-(4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl)-3-buten-2-one;
(2) (E)-4-(3-hydroxy-4-methoxyphenyl)-3-buten-2-one; and
(3) (E)-4-(3-fluoro-4-hydroxyphenyl)-3-buten-2-one.
2. A method for treating osteoporosis in a subject, the method comprising administering to the subject in need thereof an effective amount of a composition comprising a compound defined by Formula 1 below or the pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof as an active ingredient:
wherein, R1 and R2 are different from each other,
R1 and R2 are each independently selected from the group consisting of —H, —OH, —SH, C 1-4 straight or branched alkyl, C 1-4 straight or branched alkoxy, halogen, allyloxy, benzyloxy, aryloxy having one or more selected from the group consisting of hetero atoms and substituents, and heterocycloalkyl of 3 to 7 atoms having one or more hetero atoms, wherein the hetero atoms consist of
0, N and S;
R3 is one selected from the group consisting of Ci-4 straight or branched alkyl, —NH 2 , —NHR4, —N(R4) 2 , and —OH; and
R4 is C 1-4 straight or branched alkyl,
wherein the compound defined by Formula 1 is selected from the group consisting of the following compounds;
(1) (E)-4-(3-hydroxy-4-methoxyphenyl)-3-buten-2-one; and
(2) (E)-4-(3-fluoro-4-hydroxyphenyl)-3-buten-2-one.
