In the course of a program aimed at designing antitumor agents containing an indolocarbazole framework, an efficient synthetic scheme based on the use of 3,4-dibromo-N-methylmaleimide and 7-azaindole has been developed to elaborate a series of mono- and di-aza derivatives of arcyriaflavin. The procedure was further exploited to introduce a hydroxyl group at different positions on the indole moiety of the non-symmetrical compounds. The DNA binding capacity and cytotoxic potential of these 7-azaindolocarbazole derivatives was evaluated.
