Abstract
Currently, natural products are one of the priceless options for finding novel chemical pharmaceutical entities. Ellipticine is a naturally occurring alkaloid isolated from the leaves of Ochrosia elliptica Labill. Ellipticine and its derivatives are characterized by multiple biological activities. The purpose of this review was to provide a critical and systematic assessment of ellipticine and its derivatives as bioactive molecules over the last 60 years. Publications focused mainly on the total synthesis of alkaloids of this type without any evaluation of bioactivity have been excluded. We have reviewed papers dealing with the synthesis, bioactivity evaluation and mechanism of action of ellipticine and its derivatives. It was found that ellipticine and its derivatives showed cytotoxicity, antimicrobial ability, and anti-inflammatory activity, among which cytotoxicity toward cancer cell lines was the most investigated aspect. The inhibition of DNA topoisomerase II was the most relevant mechanism for cytotoxicity. The PI3K/AKT pathway, p53 pathway, and MAPK pathway were also closely related to the antiproliferative ability of these compounds. In addition, the structure-activity relationship was deduced, and future prospects were outlined. We are confident that these findings will lay a scientific foundation for ellipticine-based drug development, especially for anticancer agents.

Determination of binding modes and binding constants for the complexes of 6H-pyrido[4,3-b]carbazole derivatives with DNA. Bioorg Med Chem 2017; 25:1094-1112.

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.
