Due to their system of annulated 6-5-5-6-membered rings, indenoindoles have sparked great interest for the design of ATP-competitive inhibitors of human CK2. In the present study, we prepared twenty-one indeno[1,2-b]indole derivatives, all of which were tested in vitro on human CK2. The indenoindolones 5a and 5b inhibited human CK2 with an IC50 of 0.17 and 0.61 µM, respectively. The indeno[1,2-...

In the title compound, C(24)H(15)NO(3), the fused naphthaquin-one-pyrrole unit is approximately planar, the naphthaquinone ring system making a dihedral angle of 2.91 (10)° with the pyrrole ring. The plane of the pyrrole ring makes a dihedral angle 61.64 (14)° with that of the benzene ring of the benzoyl-methyl-ene group. The crystal structure is stablized by intra-molecular C-H⋯O inter-actions.

A series of novel 11-Indeno[1,2-b]quinoxalin-11-one have been synthesized by condensation of Indeno[1,2-b]quinoxalin-11-one and primary amines. Their chemical structures were assigned by means of spectral analysis (FT-IR, H-NMR). Synthesized compounds were screened for in vitro antiviral activity against HIV -1 and -2 in MT-4 cells and Cytotoxicity was also investigated in mock-infected MT-4 ce...

Metabolic activation of the proximate carcinogen benzo[a]pyrene-7,8-trans-dihydrodiol (B[a]P-7,8-trans-dihydrodiol) by aldo-keto reductases (AKRs) leads to B[a]P-7,8-dione that is both electrophilic and redox-active. B[a]P-7,8-dione generates reactive oxygen species resulting in oxidative DNA damage in human lung cells. However, information on the formation of stable B[a]P-7,8-dione-DNA adducts...

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 ...

A novel series of thiophenes having biologically active sulfonamide 2-11, 3-methylisoxazole 12, 4-methoxybenzo[d] thiazole 13, quinoline 14, 15, benzoylphenylamino 16, and anthracene-9,10-dione 17 moieties were prepared. Structures of the newly synthesized compounds were established by elemental analysis and spectral data. All newly synthesized compounds were evaluated for their in vitro antica...

The 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction of (E)-7-arylidene-3-(1H-benzotriazol-1-yl)-6,7-dihydroindolizin-8(5H)-one and azomethine ylide which was generated in situ by the 11H-indeno[1,2-b]quinoxalin-11-one L-proline afforded novel 1'-aryl-3”-(1H-benzotriazol-1-yl)-5',5”,6',6”,7',7a'-hexahydro-1'H,8”H-dispiro[indeno[1,2-b]quinoxaline-11,3'-pyrrolizine-2',7”-indolizin]-8”-one moderate yields. stru...

Intracellular reduction and oxidation pathways regulate protein functionality through both reversible and irreversible mechanisms. The Cdc25 phosphatases, which control cell cycle progression, are potential subjects of oxidative regulation. Many of the more potent Cdc25 phosphatase inhibitors reported to date are quinones, which are capable of redox cycling. Therefore, we used the previously ch...
