pentacyclic derivatives of camptothecin were synthesized and evaluated for in vitro cytotoxic activity against P388, HOC-21, and QG-56 and in vivo antileukemic activity against P388 in mice. Hexacyclic compounds which have an additional 5-, 6-, or 7-membered ring cyclized at positions 7 and 9 of camptothecin were prepared by intramolecular cyclization of pentacyclic camptothecin derivatives or Friedländer
