Abstract:

Alkaloids bearing a pyrroloindoline skeleton substitutedon C3α-with different types of arenes form a major class of indole alkaloids which draw attention to synthetic chemists due to their broad range of potent biological activities. The derivatives 3a and 3b were obtained via a silver-promoted Friedel-Crafts reaction. Based on this method, derivatives 3a and 3b were found exhibiting micro-molar level activity against a variety of tumor cell, which are potential drug candidate. In order to study the drug-ability and structure-activity relationships(SARs) of these compounds, a series of natural product-like library analogues(4—17) was synthesized and the SARs of these compounds were studied. The structures of the compounds were confirmed by 1H NMR, 13C NMR and HRMS. The research lays the foundation for pre-clinical studies of these compounds.

Key words: Pyrroloindoline alkaloid, Derivative, Anti-tumor, Structure-activity relationship
