Abstract

Designed and synthesized thirty-two 2,4-diaryl-5,6-dihydro-1,10- phenanthroline and 2,4-diaryl-5,6-dihydrothieno[2,3-h] quinoline derivatives as rigid analogs of 2,4,6-trisubstituted pyridines were evaluated for topoisomerase I and II inhibitory activities as well as cytotoxicities against several human cancer cell lines. Structure-activity relationship study showed that [2,2′;6′,2″]-terpyridine skeleton is important for the cytotoxicity against several human cancer cell lines.
