1. [2-(14)C]Indole has been synthesized from [(14)C]formate and o-toluidine via N[(14)C]-formyltoluidine. 2. When fed to rats, the (14)C of [(14)C]indole (dose 70-80mg./kg. body wt.) is fairly rapidly excreted, and in 2 days an average of 81% appears in the urine, 11% in the faeces and 2.4% as carbon dioxide in the expired air. 3. Radioactivity is excreted in the urine as indoxyl sulphate (50% ...

The molecules of 10-methyl-8-phenyl-11-(3-pyridyl)-6,8-dihydro-5H-benzo[f]pyrazolo[3,4-b]quinoline, C26H20N4, (I), are linked by a single C-H...N hydrogen bond into cyclic R(4)(4)(12) tetramers generated by a -4 axis. In isomeric 10-methyl-8-phenyl-11-(4-pyridyl)-6,8-dihydro-5H-benzo[f]pyrazolo[3,4-b]quinoline, (II), which crystallizes with Z' = 2 in space group P2(1)2(1)2, the two independent ...

DNA intercalators belong to aromatic heterocyclic compounds interacting reversibly with DNA. These compounds have been used extremely as cytotoxic agents against cancer. In this study, the synthesis and biological activity of some novel derivatives of cyclopenta [b] quinoline-1, 8-dione as new intercalating agent were investigated. Twenty novel derivatives of cyclopenta [b] quinoline-1, 8-dione...

In the title compounds, N-(5-acetyl-2-methyl-phen-yl)quinoline-2-carboxamide [C19H16N2O2, (I)], N-(5-acetyl-2-bromo-phen-yl)quinoline-2-carboxamide [C18H13BrN2O2, (II)] and N-(5-acetyl-2-ethynylphen-yl)quinoline-2-carboxamide [C20H14N2O2, (III)], the quinoline ring system is essentially planar and forms a dihedral angles of 3.68 (5) (I), 5.59 (7) (II) and 1.87 (6)° (III) with the acetyl-substit...
