Popis: A series of N-heterocyclic indolyl glyoxylamides were synthesized and evaluated for in vitro and in vivo anticancer activities. They exhibited a broad spectrum of anticancer activity not only in murine leukemic cancer cells but also in human gastric, breast, and uterus cancer cells as well as their multidrug resistant sublines with a wide range of IC(50) values. They also induced apoptosis and caused DNA fragmentation in human gastric cancer cells. Among the compounds studied, 7 showed the most potent activity of growth inhibition (IC(50) = 17-1711 nM) in several human cancer cells. Given orally, compounds 7 and 13 dose-dependently prolonged the survival of animals inoculated with P388 leukemic cancer cells. N-Heterocyclic indolyl glyoxylamides may be useful as orally active chemotherapeutic agents against cancer and refractory cancerous diseases of multidrug resistance phenotype.
