Abstract
The imidazoquinoxalinones 1 and 2 are benzimidazole analogues of indole-based marine natural products called makaluvamins. The stabilized cation 1 and the zwitterion 2 were prepared in approximately 9 steps from readily available starting materials. Compound 1 is more cytostatic and cytotoxic than 2 and also shows activity in the hollow fiber assay. Unlike the indole-based natural products, 1 and 2 are not potent topoisomerase II inhibitors. Their pattern of cytotoxic and cyostatic activity could be related to inhibition of protein tyrosine kinases.Entities:
