A series of novel 4beta-substituted sulfonamide derivatives of 4'-O-demethyl-4-desoxypodophyllotoxin has been synthesized. Their effects on human DNA topoisomerase II and, in some cases, on tubulin polymerization were evaluated. Compounds 8a, 8c, 8f, 8g, 8n, 8q, 8r, and 8s and the synthetic
The synthesis of novel thiadiazepine derivatives, that could be considered as constraint analogues of E-7010, are reported. These molecules were evaluated for their antiproliferative activity toward the murine L1210 leukemia cell line. Flow cytometric studies performed on L1210 cells with the most
