2-indolyl imidazo[4,5-d]phenanthroline compounds of Formula I that are capable of intracellular chelation of transition metals and of exerting antiproliferative effects in cancer cells, that are cytostatic and/or cytotoxic, are provided. Compounds of Formula I can also induce apoptosis in cancer cells and are thus capable of exerting a cytotoxic effect on cancer cells. The compounds of Formula I are also capable of selectively inhibiting the proliferation of one or more of prostate cancer cells, colon cancer cells, non-small lung cancer cells and leukemia cells. The compounds of Formula I are also capable of increasing the expression of the zinc-regulated tumour suppressor, KLF4 and thus are useful in inhibiting the proliferation of cancer cells in which KLF4 functions as a tumour-suppressor, including, but not limited to, bladder cancer, cancers of the gastrointestinal tract and various leukemias.
提供了能够在细胞内与过渡金属螯合并对癌细胞产生抗增殖作用的Formula I的2-吲哚基咪唑并[4,5-d]菲啰啉化合物,这些化合物具有细胞静止和/或细胞毒作用。Formula I的化合物还可以诱导癌细胞凋亡,因此能够对癌细胞产生细胞毒作用。Formula I的化合物还能够选择性地抑制前列腺癌细胞、结肠癌细胞、非小细胞肺癌细胞和白血病细胞中的一个或多个的增殖。Formula I的化合物还能够增加锌调节的肿瘤抑制基因KLF4的表达,因此在抑制KLF4作为肿瘤抑制基因发挥作用的癌细胞的增殖方面具有用处,包括但不限于膀胱癌、胃肠道癌和各种白血病。
