title: Synthesis and antitumor activity of duocarmycin derivatives: A-ring pyrrole compounds bearing beta-(5',6',7'-trimethoxy-2'-indolyl)acryloyl group.
abstract: A series of A-ring pyrrole derivatives of duocarmycin bearing beta-(5',6',7'-trimethoxy-2'-indolyl)acryloyl group were synthesized, and evaluated for in vitro anticellular activity against HeLa S3 cells and in vivo antitumor activity against murine sarcoma 180 in mice. New Seg-B analogues bearing beta-(5',6',7'-trimethoxy-2'-indolyl)acryloyl group containing double bond as spacer had lower peripheral blood toxicity than the derivatives bearing 5',6',7'-trimethoxyindole-2'-carboxyl group in Seg-B of the natural type. Moreover, most of them exhibited potent antitumor activity against in vivo murine tumor models.
