Owa, Takashi;Okauchi, Tatsuo;Yoshimatsu, Kentaro;Sugi, Naoko Hata;Ozawa, Yoichi;Nagasu, Takeshi;Koyanagi, Nozomu;Okabe, Tadashi;Kitoh, Kyosuke;Yoshino, Hiroshi published 《A focused compound library of novel N-(7-indolyl)benzenesulfonamides for the discovery of potent cell cycle inhibitors》 in 2000. The article was appeared in 《Bioorganic & Medicinal Chemistry Letters》. They have made some progress in their research.Synthetic Route of C9H8BrN The article mentions the following:
A series of compounds containing an N-(7-indolyl)benzenesulfonamide pharmacophore, e.g. I, was synthesized and evaluated as a potential antitumor agent. Cell cycle anal. with P388 murine leukemia cells revealed that there were two different classes of potent cell cycle inhibitors; one disrupted mitosis and the other caused G1 accumulation. The structure-activity relationships of the substituent patterns on this pharmacophore template are described. And 7-Bromo-4-methyl-1H-indole (cas: 165669-07-8) was used in the research process.
Synthetic Route of C9H8BrNIn addition to tryptophan, indigo, and indoleacetic acid, numerous compounds obtainable from plant or animal sources contain the indole molecular structure. The best-known group of these compounds is the indole alkaloids, members of which have been isolated from plants representing more than 30 families.
