A heteroannelated anthraquinone derivative compound is provided. The heteroannelated anthraquinone derivative compound is represented by a formula (I): wherein R1 is a substituent being one selected from a group consisting of i) a first substituent being one selected from a group consisting of a hydryl group, an amino group, a nitro group, a hydroxyl group and a cyan group, ii) a second substituent being one selected from a group consisting of (CH2)nX, a straight (CH2)n alkyl group, a (CH2)n alkoxyl group, a branched (CH2)n alkyl group, a C3?C12nephthenic group, and a C3?C12 cyclic alkoxyl group, wherein 1=n=12, and X is a halogen, iii) a third substituent being one selected from a group consisting of a straight C1?C8 alkyl group with a double-bond, a C1?C8 alkoxyl group with a double-bond, a branched C1?C8 alkyl group with a double-bond and a C3?C8 nephthenic group with a double-bond, and iv) a fourth substituent of a C5?C12 heterocyclic group.

A series of 1,2-heteroannelated anthraquinones and anthra[1,2-d]imidazole- 6,11-dione tetracyclic analogues with different side chain were prepared using an various synthetic route via acylation, cyclization, condensation, and intramolecular heterocyclization. Tetracyclic system containing alkyl and aryl, aromatic and heterocyclic, linear and cyclic, polar and apolar, and basic and acids residues were incorporated. They were evaluated for their effects on telomerase activity, hTERT expression, cell proliferations, and in vitro cytotoxicity against NCI's 60 cell line human tumor screen. Compounds 4, 11, 12, 14, 15, 16, 17, 19, 20, 23, 25, and 26 were selected by the NCI for one dose screening program and further studies on 4, 23 and 25 where the curves cross these lines represent the interpolated values to cause 50% growth inhibition (GI50), total growth inhibition (TGI) and 50% cell killing (LC 50). respectively. Further studies did not reveal any compound that showed potent and significant on telomerase inhibitory activity and hTERT repressing ability. Comparative testing of these compounds in the NCI's screen revealed varying levels of potency and differential cytotoxicity, apparently related to the unsaturation levels in and substitution patterns on the core ring system. It appeared that addition of a fourth planar aromatic system to a tricyclic chromophore might enhances potent cytotoxic agents, at a level equivalent to a second side chain in one of the tricyclic series. Although the exact mechanism of how this pharmacophore contributes to its activity is still unclear, however, the group in the extended arm of the tetracyclic system might contribute to proper binding to the residues within the grove of G-quadruplex structure.
