4-Aza-2,3-dehydro-4-deoxypodophyllotoxins: simple aza-podophyllotoxin analogues possessing potent cytotoxicity.
2000
Abstract 4-Aza-2,3-dehydro-4-deoxypodophyllotoxin analogues 3a – n were synthesized through quinolines 2a – n . Comparison of their cytotoxicity against P-388 leukemia cells revealed that the steric effects of the ring B substituents on the activity are greater than the electronic effects, while the presence of a methoxy group on the ring E is not essential to exhibit potent cytotoxicity. Analogues 3a and 3b proved to be more than twice as cytotoxic as natural podophyllotoxin ( 1 ).
