Abstract
AIM Quercetin (Q1) is a flavonoid widely present in plants and endowed with several pharmacological properties mostly due to its antioxidant potential. Q1 shows anticancer activity and could be useful in cancer prevention. On the other hand, Q1 is poorly soluble in water and unstable in physiological systems, and its bioavailability is very low. METHODS A small set of Q1 derivatives (Q2-Q9) has been synthesized following opportunely modified chemical procedures previously reported. Anticancer activity has been evaluated by MTT assay. Human Topoisomerases inhibition has been performed by direct enzymatic assays. Apoptosis has been evaluated by TUNEL assay. ROS production and scavenging activity have been determined by immunofluorescence. RESULTS The anticancer profile of a small library of Q1 analogues, in which the OH groups were all or partially replaced with hydrophobic functional groups, has been evaluated. Two of the studied compounds demonstrated an interesting cytotoxic profile in two breast cancer models showing the capability to inhibit human Topoisomerases. CONCLUSION The studied compounds represent suitable leads for the development of innovative anticancer drugs. [Formula: see text].

Abstract
Claisen-Schmidt condensation of 2,3,4,9-tetrahydro-1H-carbazol-1-one with 3-bromo-4-methoxy benzaldehyde afforded the 2-(3'-bromo-4'-methoxybenzylidene)-2,3,4,9-tetrahydro-1H-carbazol-1-one 3. Compound 3 was allowed to react with different organic reactants, hydroxylamine hydrochloride, malononitrile and guanidine nitrate through condensation cum cycloaddition reactions to afford a series of the respective novel hetero annulated carbazoles such as isoxazolo-, pyrido- and pyrimido carbazoles. The structures of the compounds were established by FT-IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR, X-ray diffraction and elemental analysis. The compounds have been screened for in vitro anti-tumor activity by MTT assay and displayed enviable selective growth inhibition on MCF-7 cell line compared to A-549 cell line. Apoptotic morphological changes in MCF-7 and A-549 cells were visualized using fluorescent microscopic technique. The preliminary structure activity relationships were also carried out. Data pointed out that among pyrimido carbazole compounds, 2-amino-4-(3'-bromo-4'-methoxyphenyl)-8-chloro-11H-pyrimido [4,5-a]carbazole could be exploited as an excellent therapeutic drug against cancer cell proliferation.

Abstract
The binding modes and binding constants for the complexes of forty types of pyridocarbazole derivatives 1-40 with double stranded DNAs (dsDNAs) were reported. The binding modes were determined by a combination of a deflection spectroscopy and orientation of the corresponding molecule in the DNA-based film with chain alignment. All of the compounds exhibited the intercalation-binding mode. Its binding constants Ka for the complexes, determined by quartz crystal microbalance (QCM), varied from 1.7×105 to 4.5×107M-1 according to the substituents on the pyridocarbazole framework and the sequences of dsDNA. The binding constants Ka of pyridocarbazole derivatives possessing the 2-(ω-amino)alkyl group and 5-(ω-amino)alkylcarbamyl group were larger than those of the corresponding ω-ureido derivatives. These ω-amino compounds exhibited strong GC base-pair preference in complexation. The Ka values decreased with the increasing NaCl concentration. It was clarified by a molecular modeling that the framework of the 2-tethered ω-amino derivative was completely overlapped with the stacking GC base-pairs leading to the formation of the stable intercalative-complex, and that the framework of the 5-tethered ureido derivative was half overlapped leading to the formation of the unstable complex. Furthermore, there were good linear relationships between lnKa and the relative stabilities Srel of the complexes. Contrary to our expectation, there was no linear relationship between lnKa and IC50 against Sarcoma-180, NIH3T3, and HeLa S-3 cell lines.

Abstract
Natural or synthetic carbazole derivatives have recently attracted the attention of the scientific world because of their multiple biological activity, leading to an increase of designed, synthesized and studied analogues. In this paper, four 1,4-dimethylcarbazole derivatives, analogues of Ellipticine, have been investigated for their ability to block cancer cells growth, with low effects on the proliferation of normal cells. DNA topoisomerases inhibition assays, docking simulations, stability studies and effects on a membrane model are reported. Particularly, compounds 2 and 3 have been found thermally stable and able to inhibit, strongly and selectively, the human DNA topoisomerase II. These properties confer a good and broad antitumoral activity in vitro, with very low cytotoxic effect on the proliferation of normal cell lines and without damaging, in contrast with Ellipticine, the cell membrane model. The presented outcomes set the most active compounds as good candidates for pre-clinical studies useful in cancer treatment.

Abstract
Some new platinum(II) complexes have been prepared, of general formula trans-[PtCl2(PPh3){NH(Bu)CH2Ar}], where the dimension of the Ar residue in the secondary amines has been varied from small phenyl to large pyrenyl group. The obtained complexes, tested in vitro towards a panel of human tumor cell lines showed an interesting antiproliferative effect on both cisplatin-sensitive and -resistant cells. For the most cytotoxic derivative 2a the investigation on the mechanism of action highlighted the ability to induce apoptosis on resistant cells and interestingly, to inhibit the catalytic activity of topoisomerase II.

Abstract
Circular dichroism, topological studies, molecular docking, absorbance, and fluorescence spectral titrations were employed to study the interaction of 4-morpholinopyrimido [4',5':4,5] selenolo (2,3-b) quinoline (MPSQ) with DNA. The association constants of MPSQ-DNA interactions were of the order of 10(4) M(-1). Melting temperature, topological, and docking studies confirmed that the mode of interaction was by intercalation with preference to d(GpC)-d(CpG) site of DNA. Cytotoxicity studies showed the MPSQ-induced dose-dependent inhibitory effect on the proliferation of different cancer cells. Colon adenocarcinoma (COLO 205) cells are more sensitive among the cell lines tested, with an IC50 value of 15 μM. Flow cytometry revealed that MPSQ affects the cell cycle progression by arresting at G2M phase. Further, Annexin V staining, mitochondrial membrane potential assay, and caspase-3 activity assay confirmed that MPSQ leads to mitochondria-mediated apoptotic cell death in COLO 205 cells.

Abstract
A series of new carbazole derivatives of ursolic acid were designed and synthesized in an attempt to develop potent antimicrobial or antitumor agents. Their structures were confirmed by using IR, HRMS and (1)H NMR analysis. All the synthesized compounds were evaluated for their antimicrobial activity against four bacterial and three fungal strains using serial dilution method. Compounds 3a, 3b, 4a, 4b and 5a-f exhibited significant antibacterial activity against at least one tested bacteria with MIC values of 3.9-15.6μg/ml. In addition, the in vitro cytotoxicity of these compounds were also assayed against two human tumor cell lines (SMMC-7721 and HepG2) using MTT colorimetric method. From the results, compounds 5a-e and 5h displayed pronounced cytotoxic activity with IC50 values below 10μM. Specially, compound 5e was found to be the most potent compound with IC50 values of 1.08±0.22 and 1.26±0.17μM against SMMC-7721 and HepG2 cells, respectively, comparable to those of doxorubicin. In addition, compound 5e showed reduced cytotoxicity against noncancerous LO2 cells with IC50 value of 5.75±0.48μM.

Abstract
This study reports the capacity of three nitro substituted benzazolo[3,2-a]quinolinium salts NBQs: NBQ 95 (NSC-763304), NBQ 38 (NSC 763305), and NBQ 97 (NSC-763306) as potential antitumor agents. NBQ's are unnatural alkaloids possessing a positive charge that could facilitate interaction with cell organelles. The anticancer activities of these compounds were evaluated through the National Cancer Institute (NCI) 60 cell line screening which represents diverse histologies. The screening was performed at 10 µM on all cell lines. Results from the NCI screening indicated cytotoxicity activity on six cell lines. In order to explore a possible mechanism of action, a detailed biological activity study of NBQ 95 and NBQ 38 was performed on A431 human epidermoid carcinoma cells to determine an apoptotic pathway involving, cell cycle changes, DNA fragmentation, mutations, mitochondrial membrane permeabilization and caspases activation. DNA fragmentation, cell cycle effects, mutagenesis, mitochondrial permeabilization and activation of caspases were determined by fluorimetry and differential imaging. Our data showed that A431 growth was inhibited with an average IC50 of 30 µM. In terms of the mechanism, these compounds interacted with DNA causing fragmentation and cell cycle arrest at sub G0/G1 stage. Mutagenesis was higher for NBQ 38 and moderate for NBQ 95 Mitochon-drial permeabilization was observed with NBQ 38 and slightly for NBQ 95. Both compounds caused activation of Caspases 3 and 7 suggesting an apoptotic cell death pathway through an intrinsic mechanism. This study reports evidence of the toxicity of these novel compounds with overlapping structural and mechanistic similarities to ellipticine, a known anti-tumor compound.

Abstract
The newly synthesized pyrido[2,3-a]carbazoles were prepared in good yields by multicomponent reactions under L-proline as promoter and structurally characterized. Few compounds showed significant activity toward both gram-positive, gram-negative bacterial strains. All compounds exerted negative efficacy for antifungal activity except compounds 5f and 7f which showed moderate activity. All compounds showed weak to moderate capacity for scavenging DPPH. The cytotoxicity was evaluated by Sulforhodamine B assay against A-549, B16F10, HCT-15, SKMel2 and SKOV3 cell lines and compared with standard drug cisplatin. Compound 5f outperformed cisplatin against A-549, HCT-15, SKMel2 and B16F10 cell lines. Compound 5e outranged cisplatin against A-549, HCT-15, and SKMel2 cell lines. 5b outperformed cisplatin specifically against B16F10. The preliminary structure activity relationships were carried out.

Abstract
The synthesis, structure elucidation and antitumoral activity of novel heterocyclic compounds containing a carbazole nucleus are reported. Oxazinocarbazoles were synthesized by application of the Mannich reaction to the corresponding hydroxylated derivatives leading to 41 new molecules. Their cytotoxic activity was evaluated against various human tumor cell lines including three leukemic cell lines: CEM and Jurkat (type T), Raji (type B); breast cancer cell line (MCF-7); colorectal cancer cell line (Caco-2). A primary screening at 100 microM allowed the selection of the 10 most active compounds, which showed an antiproliferative activity on all the cell lines. A dose-effect study between 12.5 and 100 microM sorted two compounds with a significant activity: 5t and 7e against leukemic cell lines CEM, Jurkat and Raji with IC50 values around 12 microM.
