Abstract

A cumptothecin derivative has been prepared wherein the A-ring is fused to an oxazole ring. The compound was prepared via a Friedlander condensation involving benzoxazole 8 and tricyclic ketone 9. This derivative displays potent topoisomerase I inhibition (IC50 150 nM) when assayed in the 'cleavable complex' assay.
