Design and Synthesis of a Fluoroindolocarbazole Series as Selective Topoisomerase I Active Agents. Discovery of Water-Soluble 3,9-Difluoro-12,13-dihydro-13-[6-amino-β-D-glucopyranosyll]-5H,13H-benzo[b] -thienyl[2,3-a]pyrrolo[3,4-c]carbazole-5,7(6H)-dione (BMS-251873) with Curative Antitumor Activity against Prostate Carcinoma Xenograft Tumor Model

A series of fluoroindolocarbazoles were studied with respect to their topoisomerase I activity, cytotoxicity, selectivity, and in vivo antitumor activity. Emerging from this series was BMS-251873, a potential clinical candidate possessing a robust pharmacological profile including curative antitumor activity against prostate carcinoma.

In our search for new, safer anti-HCMV agents, we discovered that the natural product Arcyriaflavin A (1a) was a potent inhibitor of HCMV replication in cell culture. A series of analogues (symmetrical indolocarbazoles) was synthesised to investigate structure-activity relationships in this series against a range of herpes viruses (HCMV, VZV, HSV1, and 2). This identified a number of novel, selective and potent inhibitors of HCMV, 12,13-dihydro-2,10-difluoro-5H-indolo[2,3-a]pyrrolo[3,4-c]carbazole-5,7-(6H)-dione (1d) being the best example (IC50=40nM, therapeutic index >1450). Compounds described in this series were generally poor inhibitors of protein kinase C βII, and no correlation was found between the ability to inhibit HCMV and the enzyme PKC.
