A new class of C8-linked pyrrolo[2,1-c][1,4] benzodiazepine-chalcone conjugates have been prepared by employing a solid-phase synthetic protocol. In this strategy an intramolecular aza-Wittig reductive cyclization approach has been utilized. Interestingly, some of these molecules have shown enhanced DNA-binding affinity and promising anticancer activity on a large number of human cancer cell lines. (C) 2008 Elsevier Ltd.
