Abstract

A series of novel imidazo[4,5-d]azepine compounds derived from marine natural product ceratamine A were designed and synthesized in 7 steps. Most compounds exhibited comparable cytotoxicity against five human cancer cell lines (HCT-116, HepG2, BGC-823, A549 and A2780) to natural product ceratamine A. Compound 1k, bearing methoxy group at C-14, C-15 and C-16, showed the best in vitro cytotoxicity, which was better than ceratamine A. The structure and activity relationships study showed that the benzyloxymethyl group on N-3 played an important role on the cytotoxicity.<br /> (Copyright © 2018 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.)
