To identify the structural features of 9H-pyrimido[4,5-b]indoles as microtubule depolymerizers, pyrimido[4,5-b]indoles 2-8 with varied substituents at the 2-, 4- and 5-positions were designed and synthesized. Nucleophilic displacement of 2,5-substituted-4-chloro-pyrimido[4,5-b]indoles with appropriate arylamines was the final step employed in the synthesis of target compounds 2-8. Compounds 2 and 6 had two-digit nanomolar potency (IC<sub>50</sub>) against MDA-MB-435, SK-OV-3 and HeLa cancer cell ...[more]
