Synthesis of (aminoalkyl)cycleanine analogues: cytotoxicity, cellular uptake, and apoptosis induction in ovarian cancer cells

Our previous studies demonstrated that cycleanine, a macrocyclic bisbenzylisoquinoline (BBIQ) alkaloid, showed potent anti-ovarian cancer activity via apoptosis induction. Here, we synthesized two novel (aminoalkyl)cycleanine analogues (2 and 3) through a simple and efficient two-step reaction start...
