- Synthesis of benzo-annulated tryptanthrins and their biological properties
-
A series of benzo-annulated derivatives of tryptanthrin were prepared and their optical and redox properties were studied. Tryptanthrin and its benzo-annulated derivatives showed selective inhibitory activity on topo I with an increase of activity on topo II by benzo-annulation on quinazolin-4(3H)-one moiety. Although the benzo-annulation on quinazolin-4(3H)-one ring did not affect significantly on the inhibitory activities against topo I and II, the benzoannulation on indolin-3-one ring affected the inhibitory activity very much especially by linear annulation. Cytotoxicities were not significantly changed upon benzoannulation, which were not directly related either to the inhibitory activities against topo I and II or to the reduction potentials.

- Potential Antitumor Agents. 61. Structure-Activity Relationships for in Vivo Colon 38 Activity among Disubstituted 9-Oxo-9H-xanthene-4-acetic Acids
-
Analogues of 9-oxo-9H-xanthene-4-acetic acid (XAA) bearing small, lipophilic 5-substituents are among the most dose-potent compounds yet reported with the capability of causing hemorrhagic necrosis of implanted colon 38 tumors in mice.To further extend structure-activity relationships among this class of compound, a series of XAA derivatives bearing two small lipophilic groups at various positions have been prepared and evaluated.The 5,6-disubstituted compounds in particular show consistently high levels of both dose potency and activity, suggesting this is the optimal configuration among substituted 9-oxo-9H-xanthene-4-acetic acids.The 5,6-dimethyl and 5-methyl-6-methoxy are the most effective analogues, showing in vivo colon 38 activity comparable to that of FAA at 10-15-fold lower doses and superior activity to FAA at the respective optimal doses, and the former has been selected for detailed evaluation.
