title: [The synthesis and and study of cytotoxic activity of D-ribofuranosides and 2-deoxy-D-ribofuranosides of substituted bis(indolyl)furan, -pyrrole and indolo[2,3-alpha]carbazole derivatives].
abstract: 1-(2,3,5-Tri-O-acetyl)-beta-D-ribofuranosyl indole, the key compound in the synthesis of glycosides with the bis(indole) aglycone, was obtained for the first time by the indoline-indole method. There were synthesized 3-(1-methylindol-3-yl)-4-(1-glycosylindol-3-yl)furan(or pyrrole)-2,5-diones containing the residue of beta-D-ribofuranose or 2-deoxy-beta-D-ribofuranose and analogous glycosides of indolo[2,3-a]furano(or pyrrolo)[3,4-c]carbazol-5,7-diones, which are structurally relative to the antitumor antibiotic rebeccamycin. Their cytotoxicities toward a number of human tumor cell lines were studied in vitro, and the carbazole N-glycosides were shown to be more active than the bis-(indole) glycosides. At the same time, the ribofuranosides were found to be less active than the corresponding ribopyranosides synthesized previously.
