N2-derivatives of methyl 1,2,9,9a-tetrahydrocyclopropa[c]pyrido[3,2-e]indol-4-one-7-carboxylate (CPyl) were synthesized and shown to have DNA alkylation activity and cytotoxic activity that is susceptible to catalysis by metal ions, including Zn2+. This activation promotes DNA minor groove adenine N3 alkylation in a manner analogous to that of CC-1065 and the duocarmycins, and represents a new means of in situ activation for this class of DNA alkylating agent.
