The synthesis and the antitumor activities of 1‐benzylindole‐3‐carboxylic acids are reported. Compound 16b, which bears at position 1 the same substituent as Lonidamine (1), proved to be the most active derivative.
Lonidamine analogs are useful in the treatment and prevention of cancer, benign prostatic hyperplasia, macular degeneration and prostatic intraepithelial neoplasia, or for use as an antispermatigenic agent.

The present invention generally relates to inhibitors of isoprenylcysteine carboxyl methyltransferase (Icmt), in particularly to compounds that inhibit Icmt activity and pharmaceutical compositions thereof. The invention also relates to methods of disease treatment using the same.
The analogs of indole phytoalexin cyclobrassinon have been prepared in four steps from corresponding I-substituted 2-chloroindole-3-carboxylic acids, employing a hitherto unknown photochemical cyclization of new indolyl thiocarbamates to 1,3-thiazino[6,5-b]indole-4-one derivatives as a key step.
