Synthesis and in vitro evaluation of 7-dialkylaminomethylbenzo[g]quinoxaline-5,10-diones

Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 2004 Mar 8;14(5):1235-7. doi: 10.1016/j.bmcl.2003.12.046.

Abstract

A series of benzo[g]quinoxaline-5,10-dione derivatives carrying a 7-dialkylaminomethyl substituent was synthesized and their in vitro cytotoxic activities were evaluated against four human cancer cell lines (HCT-15, SK-OV-3, MD-MB-468 and T-47D). The most active compound 9d showed cytotoxic activity comparable to that of doxorubicin against HCT-15 cancer cell line.
