Abstract

A series of 5-aryl-2, 3-dihydroimidazo [2, l-ulisoquinolines previously reported to be platelet activating factor (PAF) receptor antagonists were evaluated for potential antitumor activity. Several compounds, such as the 5-(4 '-tert-butylphenyl)(65), 5-[4 '-(trimethylsilyl) phenyll (69), and 5-(4 '-cyclohexylphenyl)(71) analogs showed very good cytotoxicity against several tumor cell lines. 5-[4'-(Piperidinomethyl) phenyll-2, 3-dihydroimidazo [2, l- ...
