Abstract The synthesis of substituted pyrrolo[3,4- a ]carbazole-1,3-diones, pyrrolo[3,4- c ]carbazole-1,3-diones, and 2-aminopyridazino[3,4- a ]pyrrolo[3,4- c ]carbazole-1,3,4,7-tetraone is reported. Their inhibitory properties toward Checkpoint 1 kinase (Chk1) have been evaluated and their in vitro antiproliferative activities toward three tumor cell lines: murine leukemia L1210, human colon carcinoma HT29 and HCT116 have been determined. From the biological results, it appears that, in contrast with the upper E heterocycle, the lower D heterocycle is not absolutely required for Chk1 inhibition. The ATP binding pocket of Chk1 seems to be adaptable to substitution of the nitrogen of the imide E heterocycle with a hydroxymethyl group, allowing the fundamental hydrogen bond with the Glu 85 residue of the enzyme.
