Abstract

β-Carboline derivatives are known as the lead compounds for anti-tumor agents. To examine an optimal structure for anti-tumor activity, we synthesized a variety of β-carboline derivatives, possessing a variety of substituents on the nitrogen atom of the amino group of 3- amino-β-carboline, and evaluated their anti-tumor activity for HeLa S-3 cell line. 3-(4, 5- Dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2, 5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay showed that an ...
