A highly regiospecific synthesis of a series of indenoindoles is reported, together with X-ray studies and their activity against human prostate cancer cells PC-3 and LNCaP in vitro. The most effective compound 7,7-dimethyl-5-[(3,4-dichlorophenyl)]-(4bRS,9bRS)-dihydroxy-4b,5,6,7,8,9bhexahydro-indeno[1,2-b]indole-9,10-dione 7q reduced the viability in both cell lines in a time and dose-dependent manner

The present work reports the synthesis of some enaminone derivatives bearing a biologically active 3,4-dimethoxyphenyl (3) or 3,4,5-trimethoxyphenyl moieties (5 and 7), respectively. The trimethoxybenzene moiety has been previously reported to confer cytotoxic activity. The structure of the newly synthesized compounds was verified by elemental analyses, IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR spectra and X-ray analysis. The anti-breast cancer activity of the enaminone derivatives were evaluated. Compounds 3, 5 and 7 showed excellent anti-breast cancer activity with IC50 values (55.2, 79.06 and 50.49 μM) compared with doxorubicin with IC50 value (71.80 μM) as reference drug.
