Optimization of the Lactam Side Chain of 7-Azaindenoisoquinoline Topoisomerase I Inhibitors and Mechanism of Action Studies in Cancer Cells
6 Feb 2014
Abstract excerpt
Optimization of the lactam ω-aminoalkyl substituents in a series of 7-azaindenoisoquinolines resulted in new anticancer agents with improved Top1 inhibitory potencies and cancer cell cytotoxicities. The new compounds 14-17 and 19 exhibited mean graph midpoint cytotoxicity (GI50) values of 21-71 nM in the NCI panel of 60 human cancer cell cultures. Ternary 7-azaindenoisoquinoline-DNA-Top1 cleavage complexes that...
