In order to synthesize the intermediates of cannabimimetics, the benzoylation of indoles with 2'/3'/4'-substituted benzoyl chloride in the presence of Et2AlCl was examined. Among the products, we found that the H-1 NMR spectra of 3-(2'-substituted)-benzoyl-2-methylindoles had interesting features. We investigated their physicochemical properties based on VT-NMR, and it was revealed that conformer A (s-trans) is present in preference to conformer B in these compounds.

Scaffold hybridization of several natural and synthetic anticancer leads led to the consideration of indenoindolones as potential novel anticancer agents. A series of these compounds were prepared by a diversity-feasible synthetic method. They were found to possess anticancer activities with higher potency compared to etoposide and 5-fluorouracil in kidney cancer cells (HEK 293) and low toxicity to corresponding normal cells (Vero). They exerted apoptotic effect with blocking of cell cycle at G2/M phase. (C) 2012 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
