A series of analogues of the antitumor alkaloids ellipticine and olivacine were tested for cytotoxicity against four human lung cancer cell lines: H69, N417, H460, and H358. Adriamycin (doxorubicin), ellipticine, olivacine, and celiptinium were used as standards. Adriamycin was cytotoxic at 2 muM and celiptinium was inactive at the highest concentrations tested (IC50 > 48 muM). N-methylcarbamates of 9-methoxy-6H-pyrido[4,3-b] carbazole 1-, 5-, and 11-methanols gave IC50 values ranging from 0.02 to 0.11 muM against N417, H460, and H358 and were only slightly less effective against H69.
