Abstract

Our interest in the synthesis of analogues with 1, 10-phenanthroline chromophores is based on their potential applications as inhibitors of telomerase, an enzyme found in tumor cells which control the continued growth of malignant tumors [1]. For example a platiniumphenanthroline complex has been reported as an inhibitor of telomerase [2]. Recently we have reported a convenient and multigram synthetic pathway to 2-chloro-(1a) ...
