Design, Synthesis, Molecular Modelling and Anticancer Activities of New Fused Phenanthrolines
Three series of fused pyrrolophenanthroline derivatives were designed as analogues of phenstatin and synthesized in two steps starting with 1,7-phenanthroline, 4,7-phenanthroline and 1,10-phenanthroline, respectively. Two (Compounds <b>8a</b> and <b>11c</b>) of the four compo...
