They were prepared from 3-(prop-2-inyloxy)-D-secoestrone alcohol or oxime and monosaccharide azides via Cu(I)-catalyzed azide–alkyne cycloaddition reactions (CuAAC). The antiproliferative activities of the conjugates were investigated in vitro against a panel of human adherent cancer cell lines (HeLa, A2780 and MCF-7) by means of MTT assays. The protected D-glucose-containing D-secoestrone oxime bioconjugate (24b) proved to be the most effective with an IC50 value in the low micromolar range against A2780 cell line. © 2017 Elsevier Ltd}, year = {2017}, eissn = {1464-3405}, pages = {1938-1942}, orcid-numbers = {Mernyák, Erzsébet/0000-0003-4494-1817; Wölfling, János/0000-0002-3037-309X; Zupkó, István/0000-0003-3243-5300; Kupihár, Zoltán/0000-0001-5499-7617; Kovács, Lajos/0000-0002-0331-3980} }
