The tetrahydroazepinone pharmacophore is a component of many interesting compounds, including several marine natural products, with anti-cancer properties. The synthesis and biological evaluation of a novel series of pyrroloazepinone and indoloazepinone oximes is reported. These compounds showed promising growth inhibition activity against four human cancer cell lines but did not significantly inhibit the cell cycle regulator cyclin dependent kinase 2. The most active compounds in this series displayed improved anti-proliferative activity over the related synthetic indoloazepine kenpaullone. The structure activity relationships exhibited by the azepinone pharmacophore suggests several novel lead compounds for anti-cancer drug discovery.
