Abstract

A series of novel 6-substituted harmine derivatives were synthesized from harmine in five steps: N9-methylation, bromination, Suzuki coupling, N-Boc deprotection, and amidation reaction. The structures of target compounds were confirmed by 1H NMR, 13C NMR, and high-resolution mass spectra (HRMS). The in vitro antiproliferative activities were evaluated in a panel of cancer cell lines (HL-60, A549, SMMC-7721, MCF-7 and SW-480) via 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-5-(3- carboxymethoxyphenyl)-2-(4-sulfophenyl)-2H-tetrazolium (MTS) assay. The results indicated that some compounds had good to excellent activities, and especially the most potent compound was 3o, whose IC50 values were 0.27 (against HL-60), 0.44 (against A549) and 0.048 μmol/L (against SMMC-7721), better than positive control drugs cisplatin and taxol (against SMMC-7721).
