Synthesis and cytotoxic activity of some new azapyranoxanthenone aminoderivatives

Bioorg Med Chem. 2003 Oct 15;11(21):4591-8. doi: 10.1016/s0968-0896(03)00503-0.

Abstract

A series of novel azapyranoxanthenones, bearing structural similarity to the acridone alkaloid acronycine have been designed and synthesized. Their in vitro cytotoxicities against the murine L1210 leukemia and the human solid tumor HT-29 cell lines have been investigated. The new derivatives exhibited interesting cytotoxic activity and were more potent than the parent compound.
