Abstract

In furtherance of our SAR study on the chemistry and antitumor activity of fused nitrogen heteroaromatic compounds, a series of linear, methyl-substituted derivatives of 5H-and 6H- indolo [2, 3-blquinolines were synthesized according to the modified Graebe-Ullmann reaction. To establish the relationship between the physicochemical and biological activities of indolo-[2, 3-blquinolines, their lipophilic properties, cytotoxic and antimicrobial activity, ...
