The merits of N-unsubstituted indoles and cyclopent[b]indoles as DNA-directed reductivealkylatingagents are described. These systems represent a departure from N-substituted and pyrrolo[1, 2-a]-fused systems such as the mitomycins and mitosenes. The cyclopent[b]indole-based aziridinylquinone system, when bearing an acetate leaving group with or without an N-acetyl group, was cytotoxic and displayed
