title: Matrix compare analysis discriminates subtle structural differences in a family of novel antiproliferative agents, diaryl-3-hydroxy-2,3,3a,10a-tetrahydrobenzo[b]cycylopenta[e]azepine-4,10(1H,5H)-diones.
abstract: A diastereoselective synthesis of diaryl-3-hydroxy-2,3,3a,10a-tetrahydrobenzo[b]cycylopenta[e]azepine-4,10(1H,5H)-diones is described employing a tandem Michael-aldol addition as key step. The novel compounds exhibit antiproliferative activity in a panel of in vitro cultivated cancer cell lines. The bioinformatic tool COMPARE was able to discriminate between two closely related subgroups of the title compounds, namely 1,3- and 2,3-disubstituted derivatives.
