title: Synthesis and cytotoxic evaluation of N1,Nm-bis[(tetrahydrobenzo[a]acridin-12-yl)phenyl]alkanediamides and N1,Nm-bi.
abstract: The title compounds were synthesized in four steps from 5,5-dimethyl-1, 3-cyclohexanedione as starting material. These compounds were evaluated against 60 tumoral cell lines, whereas the N1,Nm-bis[benzo[c]acridin-7-yl]phenyl]alkanediamides displaying significant cytotoxic activity, the corresponding N1,Nm-bis[benzo[a]acridin-12-yl]phenyl]alkanediamides derivatives were found to be less cytotoxic.
