Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 2002 Dec 16;12(24):3557-9. doi: 10.1016/s0960-894x(02)00794-1.

Abstract

A variety of aristolactam derivatives were synthesized and evaluated for cytotoxicity. Modulations were carried out on the phenanthrene nucleus and the lactam moiety as well. N-(N-dialkylaminoalkyl) derivatives exhibited interesting cytotoxic activity against the L1210 leukemia cell line.
