Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Synthesis of a series of novel, broad-spectrum anti-cancer agents containing the tricyclic 5:7:5-fused diimidazo[4,5-d:4',5'-f][1,3]diazepine ring system is reported. Compounds 1, 2, 8, 11, and 12 in the series show promising in vitro antitumor activity with low micromolar IC(50)'s against prostate, lung, breast, and ovarian cancer cell lines. Some notions about structure-activity relationships and a possible mechanism of biological activity are presented. Also presented are preliminary in vivo toxicity studies of 1 using SCID mice.
