title: Synthesis and biological activity of 5-hydroxy-4-quinolones and 5-methoxy-4-quinolones as truncated acridones.
abstract: A series of 5-hydroxy-4-quinolone (3) and 5-methoxy-4-quinolone (4) derivatives were synthesized as truncated acridone analogues and evaluated for antitumor, antiherpes and antituberculosis activities. Among them 5-hydroxy-8-methoxy-quinolone showed potent antitumor activity (IC50 = 17.7 microM for HL60) which was greater than that of acronycine. However, these compounds didn't show any significant antiherpes or antituberculosis activity.
