Structure-activity relationship of N-methyl-bisindolylmaleimide derivatives as cell death inhibitors

Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 2005 Jun 15;15(12):3109-13. doi: 10.1016/j.bmcl.2005.04.015.

Abstract

A series of N-methyl-bisindolylmaleimide derivatives was synthesized and evaluated as cell death inhibitors. N-Methyl-2-[1-(3-aminopropyl)-1H-indol-3-yl]-3-(1H-indol-3-yl)maleimide (21) was the most potent inhibitor of H2O2-induced necrotic death of human leukemia HL60 cells among them.
