Identification of bis-quindolines as new antiinfective agents.

Abstract:

:Several N-substituted quindolines were made to further evaluate the role of N-alkylation on the activity of indoloquinolines as antifungal agents. While N-5 substitution is required for these activities, N-10 alkylation alone leads to inactive products but is tolerated in the presence of N-5 alkyl groups. It was also discovered that bis-quindolines appear to have a more expanded antimicrobial spectrum and lower cytotoxicity than their monomeric counterparts.

  • Synthesis and biological evaluation of 1,1-dichloro-2,3-diarylcyclopropanes as antitubulin and anti-breast cancer agents.

    abstract::Z-1,1-Dichloro-2,3-diphenylcyclopropane (1) is an effective anti-breast cancer agent in rodents and in cell culture. We recently determined that 1 inhibits tubulin assembly in vitro and causes microtubule loss in breast cancer cells, leading to accumulation in the G2/M portion of the cell cycle. Aryl ring-halogenated,...
