A series of novel bivalent β-carbolines with a piperazine group spacer between 3-methylene units were synthesized and evaluated as antitumor agents. The results demonstrated that compounds 7e and 7g exhibited the most potent cytotoxic activities against ten tumor cell lines. Structure-activity relationships analysis indicated that (1) the substituents in positions 1 and 9 of the β-carboline ring played a significant role in modulating the antitumor activity; (2) the introduction of alkyl groups into position-9 of the β-carboline nucleus enhanced their cytotoxic potencies and the butyl substituent was the optimal group. Investigation of the preliminary mechanism of action demonstrated that compound 7g showed obvious anti-angiogenic activity in the in vivo CAM assay, and the potency was similar to that of CA4P (200 μM).
