, p. 2793 - 2808 (2007/10/02)
The title synthesis was first achieved by employing novel methoxycarbonylation of the C4-position of the 5-aminoindoline by way of the isatin and subsequent Dieckmann cyclization to the methyl 2-methylindoxyl-2-carboxylate as key steps.In vitro cytotoxicity assay against P388 murine leukemia obviously disclosed that cytotoxicities of the synthesized compounds are comparable and almost half of that of natural (+)-duocarmycin A. - Key Words: dl-duocarmycin A, dl-2-epi-duocarmycin A, total synthesis, antitumor antibiotic, cytotoxicity
Synthetic Studies on Duocarmycin. 2. Synthesis and Cytotoxicity of Natural (+)-Duocarmycin A and Its Tree Possible Stereoisomers.

, p. 2809 - 2820 (2007/10/02)
The title synthesis was achieved by featuring the optical resolution of two types of the tricyclic intermediates and the synthetic scheme established in the synthesis of racemic compounds.In vitro cytotoxicity assay against P388 murine leukemia obviously

, p. 6699 - 6702 (2007/10/02)
The title synthesis could be achieved by featuring introduction of a methoxycarbonyl group into the C-4 position of a 5-aminoindoline nucleus by way of an isatin derivative and subsequent ring closure to a methyl 2-methylindoxyl-2-carboxylate system by the Dieckmann cyclization.
