Synthesis and cytotoxic activities of 2-alkyl-2,3-dihydro-1H-2,6,9-triazacyclopenta[b]anthracene-5,10-diones

Abstract: A series of 2-alkyl-2,3-dihydro-1H-2,6,9-triazacyclopenta[b]anthracene-5,10-diones (4a-f) were synthesized and their in vitro cytotoxic activities were evaluated against six human cancer cell lines (HCT15, SK-OV-3, A549, SNB19, MCF7 and MCF7/ADR). A number of compounds including 4c and 4d showed 2-180 times more potent cytotoxic activity than doxorubicin against all human cancer cell lines tested. Furthermore, these compounds retained considerable cytotoxic activity against the doxorubicin-resistant cell line … Show more

“…Starting material 76a was treated with 2,3-dimethylbutadiene to give the cycloaddition adduct, which was directly aromatized by aerial oxidation in ethanolic KOH under reflux to give 6,7-dimethylbenzo[ g ]quinoxaline-5,10-dione 82 [ 66 , 67 ]. The required intermediate 82 was treated with N -bromosuccinimide (NBS) and a catalytic amount of benzoylperoxide under irradiation to give the corresponding bisbromomethyl product in 42% yield.…”

“…The cytotoxic activity of six human cancer cells (HCT-15, SK-OV-3, A549, SNB19, MCF-7, and MCF-7/ADR) was evaluated in vitro. Compounds 156-160 showed significant inhibitory effects on all human cancer cell lines, with IC50 values ranging from 0.035 to 0.381 µM [142]. [4,5-b]phenazine-5,12-diones.…”
