Abstract

2 and nitidine (lb) 3 represent a class of compounds isolated from the Rutaceae family that show potent antitumor activity against L1210 and P-388 murine leukemias. Coralyne (2),* a berbenium alkaloid structurally related to the benzo [c] phenantridines, exhibits antitumor activity against both tumor screens. Studies on the mechanism of action of fagaronine and nitidine indicate that both alkaloids inhibit DNA synthesis probably by interacting with AT ...
