摘要

A novel series of '4-1'pentacyclic naphthalimides, where the chromophore consists of a naphthalimide moiety, fused to an imidazole ring containing an unfused aryl or heteroaryl ring, were synthesized and evaluated for in vitro antitumor activity. In general, the new derivatives showed an improved cytotoxic activity over amonafide. DNA binding experiments supported that this class of compounds behaves as effective DNA-intercalating agents.
