Abstract

In the screening for antitumor leads from microbial secondary metabolites, BU-4664L (1), a naturally occurring dibenzodiazepine, was found to inhibit tumor invasion and angiogenesis in vitro. Compound 1 inhibited the gelatinase activities of MMP-2 and MMP-9 and the cellular motility. Four derivatives (2-5) were synthesized from 1 and their antitumor activities were evaluated. Compounds 3 and 4 exhibited potent anti-angiogenic effects on HUVEC, together with remarkable inhibition of cell migration at nanomolar concentrations, and showed much lower cytotoxicity.
