Abstract |
Since many years, alkaloids such as ellipticine 1 and olivacine 2, are known of theirs antitumor activity. They have inspired many groups of researchers to modify their chemical structure in the aim of improving the therapeutic index. Many of obtained compounds exhibited stronger antiproliferative activity then alkaloids mentioned above. Our investigations was concerned with modification the olivacine structure. One of derivatives we obtained 3 has entered II phase of clinical trials. Its analogues 4 also displayed strong activity against L1210. This prompted us to undertake a study on the synthesis of the title compound 5. Cytotoxic activity of some compounds was performed in the Institute Curie (FRANCE) (for L-1210) and Institute of Immunology and Experimental Therapy (POLAND)(for A-549 lung cancer). |
