title: Design and synthesis of some new pyranoxanthenone aminoderivatives with cytotoxic activity.
abstract: The synthesis, DNA binding and in vitro cytotoxicity of a series of novel pyranoxanthones, analogues of the acridone alcaloid acronycine, are described. The new compounds proved to bind weakly to DNA. On the contrary, they exhibited interesting cytotoxic activity against murine leukemia L1210 cell line, as well as against some human solid tumor cell lines.
