Synthesis, Antitumor Activity, Molecular Modeling, and DNA Binding Properties of a New Series of Imidazonaphthalimides
摘要:
A series of mono and bisintercalators based on the 5,8-dihydrobenz [de]imidazo [4,5-g]isoquinoline-4,6-dione system were synthesized and evaluated for growth inhibitory properties in several human cell lines. All target compounds showed activity in the micromolar range. Representative compounds were evaluated using UV-vis spectroscopy and viscosimetric determinations, showing that they behave as DNA intercalators. Molecular modeling techniques were used in order to rationalize the moderate activity observed for bisnaphthalimides.
