Abstract: Compounds of formula G1-L-G2, where G1, is a radical structurally close to cryptolepine, -L- is a single covalent bond or a covalent linking biradical selected from —(CH2)rNR??(CH2)s— and —(CH2)rNR??(CH2)sNR??(CH2)t—, —R?? and —R?? are radicals, same or different, selected from the group consisting of H and (C1-C3)-alkyl; r, s and t are an integer from 1 to 3 and -G2 is H or a radical structurally close to -G1, are intercalators. They are compounds which intercalate between DNA base pairs, and are useful as therapeutic agents against cancer, as assess by an in vitro test of citotoxicity with human leukemia cells Jurkat E6-1 and human carcinoma cells GLC-4. Preferred compounds are those where -G1 is bonded to -L- through a carbonyl amino and -L- is —(CH2)3NCH3(CH2)3— or —(CH2)2NCH3(CH2)sNCH3(CH2)2— where s=2 or 3.

Abstract: The invention provides novel compounds of formula (I) wherein: one of the a, b, c or d members is a nitrogen atom and the remaining members are carbon atoms; and R3 is a radical selected from the group consisting of: —S—R14 and —CH2—R15. The compounds of formula (I) are useful for treating diseases mediated by a heat shock protein 90 (Hsp 90).
