Potential antitumor agents XVII (1). Cytotoxic agents from indole derivatives and their intermediates

Acta Pharm Nord. 1990;2(6):407-14.

Abstract

New indole derivatives and their intermediates were tested as cytotoxic agents on a culture of P388 leukemia cells. The aldehyde 2a was more active than the thiosemicarbazones 3a, b and the nitrosourea 14. The chloroacetyl derivatives 10, 11 were the most potent cytotoxic agents.
