Abstract

9-Methoxy-5,11-dimethyl-(and 5-methyl)-6H-pyrido[4,3-b]carbazole-1-carbonitriles (8) were synthesized through methoxyellipticine N-oxides (4) and subsequent deoxygenation-functionalization by diethyl cyanophosphonate. Hydration of these nitriles (8) into 1-carboxamidoellipticines (9) and cytotoxicities of these last compounds are also reported.
