A novel synthetic method of N1-alkylindirubin-3-oxime (3a~3c) was explored using indirubin as the starting material, including N-alkylation and oximation. Crystal X-ray diffraction studies of N1-ethylindirubin-3-oxime (3b) gave good support for the (3Z,3E) structure. The anticancer activity of compounds 3a~3c was evaluated and compound 3b showed potent anticancer effect and low toxicity com-pared to other chemotherapy drugs .

Key words: N1-alkylindirubin-3-oxime, synthesis, crystal structure, anticancer activity
