6-Arylamino-7-chloro-quinazoline-5,8-diones as novel cytotoxic and DNA topoisomerase inhibitory agents

Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 2004 Jul 5;14(13):3385-8. doi: 10.1016/j.bmcl.2004.04.094.

Abstract

A series of 6-arylamino-7-chloro-quinazoline-5,8-diones were prepared and evaluated for their in vitro cytotoxicity in cultured human cancer cell lines A549 (lung cancer), Col2 (colon cancer), and SNU-638 (stomach cancer). The preliminary structure-activity relationship has been described for providing further development of potent antitumor agents. To further investigate the cytotoxic mechanism, the effects of test compounds on DNA topoisomerase I and II activities have been assessed.
