    A series of cycle C and D-substituted phenanthrolin-7-ones, analogues of the marine pyridoacridines meridine and ascididemin have been synthesized on the basis of Diels-Alder reactions involving quinoline-5,8-dione and 2- (or un)-substituted-N,N-dimethylhydrazones. All the compounds were evaluated for in vitro cytotoxic activity against 12 distinct human cancer cell lines. They all exhibit cytotoxic activity with IC(50) values at least of micromolar order.Journal Articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishe
