Abstract
In the search for new photochemotherapeutic agents, a series of derivatives of the ring system pyrrolo[3,2-h]quinoline--bioisosters of the angular furocoumarin angelicin--were synthesized through a four-step synthetic approach, in reasonable overall yields. Eight of the synthesized derivatives showed a remarkable phototoxicity against a panel of four human tumor cell lines and a great dose UV-A dependence, reaching IC₅₀ values at submicromolar level. The mode of cellular death photoinduced by pyrrolo[3,2-h]quinolines was evaluated through a series of flow cytometric analysis and other tests were performed to clarify their mechanism of action.
