Ellipticine derivatives

Ellipticine derivatives

R W Guthrie et al. J Med Chem. 1975 Jul.

Abstract

Several acyloxy and alkyl derivatives of ellipticine have been prepared. In addition, a modified synthesis leading to the hitherto unobtainable 8,9-dimethoxy- and 8,9-methylenedioxyellipticines is described. Some of the derivatives described herein exhibit antitumor activity. However, none of the compounds showed activity superior to that of the naturally occurring pyridocarbazoles, ellipticine and 9-methoxyellipticine.
