New 1,5-Dihydro-4-(substituted phenyl)-3H-furo[3,4-b]carbazol-3-ones were synthesised via a key step Diels-Alder reaction under microwave irradiation. 3-Formylindole was successfully used in a 6-step synthesis to obtain those complex heterocycles. The Diels-Alder reaction generating the carbazole ring was optimised under thermal conditions or microwave irradiation. After cleavage of functional groups, DNA binding, topoisomerase inhibition and cytotoxic properties of the new-formed furocarbazoles were investigated. These carbazoles do not present a strong interaction with the DNA, and do not modify the relaxation of the DNA in the presence of topoisomerase I or II except for one promising compound. This compound is a potent topoisomerase II inhibitor, and its cellular activity is not moderated compared to etoposide. The synthesis of these molecules allowed the generalisation of the method using indole and 5-OBn indole and several benzaldehydes. The synthesis of these molecules produced chemical structures endowed with promising cytotoxic and topoisomerase II inhibition activities.

(E,E)-1,4-Diphenylbutadiene derivatives were synthesized by utilizing the Stobbe reaction of dimethyl succinate as a key step. Their stereoisomers were also synthesized stereoselectively by means of the cross-coupling reaction of the vinylstannanes and the vinylbromides, which were obtained from the propiolic acid esters by stereoselective hydrostannation, as a key step. To discover novel stimulators of fibrinolysis in vascular endothelial cells, the synthesized compounds were added to cultured bovine endothelial cells to determine the activity of the plasminogen activator in the conditioned medium. Of the synthesized compounds, three compounds were found to stimulate the activity of the plasminogen activator in endothelial cells. In addtition, these compounds inhibited thrombus formation in a rat model of venous thrombosis.
