“…Hybridization studies showed that CMV DNA synthesis was inhibited by B-220. B-220 is structurally related to ellipticine and quinacrine, compounds known to intercalate into the DNA helix (11). It is therefore likely that intercalation into input or replicating viral DNA contributes to the antiviral activity of B-220.…”

“…antitumoraux qui n'ont pas connu le même succès que la Navelbine® et le Taxotère® du fait de leur toxicité trop importante (l'exploitation de la girolline n'a pas dépassé le stade des essais cliniques et l'utilisation du Celiptium® est très contrôlée). [19]. L'ellipticine d'Ochrosia elliptica, récolté à Trinidad aux Antilles, avait en effet été isolée en 1958 par l'américain Sydney Goodwin [20].…”

“…It was conceived that the benzo [b]carbazoles as isosteric analogs of pyrido [4,3-b]carbazoles, with oxygenated D ring could mimic the anti-cancer activity of ellipticine. So it was of interest to study the anticancer activity of D-ring oxygenated benzo [b]carbazoles as it is believed that these molecules could form a stable intercalation complex with DNA (KANSAL and POTIER, 1986). Derivatives of the pyrido [4,3-b]carbazole alkaloid ellipticine (which intercalates with DNA and inhibits topoisomerase II) are being used clinically to inhibit the growth of several human tumours.…”
