摘要: Several benzo[c]phenanthridine and protoberberine alkaloids, such as nitidine berberrubine, are known to induce DNA cleavage in the presence of either topoisomerase I or II. Structure–activity studies performed on various analogues related alkaloids have provided insights into structural features that influence this topoisomerase-targeting activity. Modifications within A-ring can significantly alter their ability enhance cleavable complex formation occurs between topoisomerases. Select benzo[i]phenanthridines were synthesized potential bioisosteres its analogues. In present study, 2,3-methylenedioxy-8,9-dimethoxybenzo[i]phenanthridine, 2,3-methylenedioxy-8,9-dimethoxy-5-methylbenzo[i]phenanthridine, 2,3,8,9-tetramethoxybenzo[i]phenanthridine 5-methyl-2,3,8,9-tetramethoxybenzo[i]phenanthridine synthesized. These benzo[i]phenanthridine derivatives evaluated for topoisomerases well cytotoxicity against human lymphoblastoma cell line, RPMI8402. 2,3-Methylenedioxy-8,9-dimethoxybenzo[i]phenanthridine (4a) 5-methyl derivative (4b) active I-targeting agents. contrast nitidine, substituent case 4b is not associated with enhanced Consistent previous structure–activity 2,3,8,9-teramethoxybenzo[i]phenanthridine, 5a, derivative,5b, inactive extended an evaluation relative pharmacological activities 2,8,9-trimethoxybenzo[i]phenanthridine, 3,8,9-trimethoxybenzo[i]phenanthridine, 2,3-methylenedioxy-8,9-methylenedioxybenzo[i]phenanthridine.
