title: Synthesis and biological evaluation of novel bisindolylmaleimides that inhibit vascular endothelial cell proliferation.
abstract: A novel class of bisindolylmaleimides were synthesized and antiproliferative activities (HUVECs and three tumor cell lines) of these compounds were investigated. Two water-soluble derivatives, 10 and 12, possessing a dimethylaminoalkoxy side chain in their structure, showed interesting activity and selectivity on HUVECs proliferation.
