Synthesis and biological evaluation of novel cytotoxic azanaphthoquinone annelated pyrrolo oximes
摘要:
Two series of azanaphthoquinone annelated pyrrolo oximes have been synthesized. The antiproliferative activities of 10 compounds were evaluated on at least four different cell lines. One series of pyrrolo derivatives showed high cytotoxic activity. The effects on cell cycle and caspase activity were investigated. Compounds 9a and 9b showed an accumulation of cells in G2/M phase. Substantial and dose-dependent caspase activity was found after treatment of cells with 9a and 9b. This indicates an apoptosis inducing property of these compounds.

Synthesis of new Benzo[f]isoindole-4,9-diones as anticancer compounds
AbstractThe design and synthesis of monosubstituted and disubstituted azanaphthoquinone annelated pyrroles with anticancer activity are described. N-alkylation with various side chains at the pyrrole ring led to a series of monosubstituted products. For preparation of disubstituted isoindole derivatives, appropriately substituted tosyl methyl isocyanides were used. The biological activity of all the
