title: Synthesis, structure, and cytostatic properties of new olivacine derivatives.
abstract: Starting from 2-(6-methoxy-1-methyl-9H-carbazol-2-yl)ethylamine and 6-methylpicolinic acid, 9-methoxy-5-methyl-1-(6-methylpyridin-2-yl)-6H-pyrido[4,3-b]carbazole 10 and its 6-alkylderivatives 12-17 were obtained. The newly obtained compounds showed significant cytostatic activity against cultured L1210 cells and high cytotoxicity towards various human tumor cell lines.
