Abstract: The merits of N-unsubstituted indoles and cyclopent[b]indoles as DNA-directed reductive alkylating agents are described. These systems represent a significant departure from N-substituted and pyrrolo[1,2-a] fused systems such as the mitomycins and mitosenes. The cyclopent[b]indole—based aziridinylquinone, when bearing an acetate leaving group, was found to be cytotoxic and displayed significant in vivo activity against syngeneic tumor implants. This particular analogue was unexpectedly superior to the others studied, both in terms of high specificity for the activating enzyme DT-diaphorase and in high % DNA alkylation. Alkylation by a quinone methide intermediate as well as by the aziridinyl group were examined for crosslinking. The possible metabolites of the most active indole species were prepared and found to retain cytotoxicity, strongly suggesting that in vivo activity could also be sustained.
