The invention provides novel nitro-l,2-dihydro-3.H-benzo[e]indole compounds and related analogues that are useful in cancer treatment, pharmaceutical compositions containing such compounds and methods of treating cancer comprising administering the compounds. The compounds of the invention include compounds of the Formula (I), wherein Y is selected from Cl or Br, and wherein X is selected from SO2NR1 2 or CONR1 2, where X is located at either position 7 or 8, and where each R1 independently represents H or a C1-4alkyl, optionally substituted with one or more hydroxyl groups, and wherein Z is a side chain selected from either structure (Ia) or (Ib), wherein R2 represents a lower C2-4 alkyl bearing a morpholine (Ic) or N-methylpiperazine (Id) substituent, and R3 represents H, C1-4 alkyl, C1-4alkoxy, C1-4alkynyl or C1-4alkynyloxy and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof. Also provided are compounds of Formula (II), where the nitro group of Formula (I) is replaced with an amino group, and compounds of Formula (III), where a free hydroxyl group of a compound of Formula (I) or (II) is functionalised with a phosphate, amino acid, short polypeptide chain or monosaccharide, or a free hydroxyl or secondary or tertiary amine group of a compound of Formula (I) or (II) is functionalised with a phosphonooxymethyl substituent.
