selectivity and competitive binding with CN−. Various experiments revealed the capability of this compound to act through all the three dimethoxyphenolic units and efficiently remove cyanide from human bloodserum – more precisely from cytochrome c oxidase.

On the basis of structural analysis of dihydrofolatereductase (DHFR) (cocrystallized separately with NADPH, dihydrofolate and NADPH, trimethoprim), compounds 2 and 3 were optimized for inhibition of DHFR. Appreciable tumor growth inhibitory activities of compounds 2 and 3 over 60 human tumor cell lines were recorded. Combination of syringaldehyde and indole moieties in these two compounds was rationalized
