Anti-Tuberculosis natural products: synthesis and biological evaluation of pyridoacridine alkaloids related to ascididemin
There is an urgent need for novel therapeutics possessing new modes of action to treat tuberculosis (TB) infections. In this study we report on the synthesis and biological evaluation of a series of pyrido[2,3,4-kI] acridin-6-one alkaloids related to the anti-TB (MIC 0.35 mu M) but cytotoxic (IC(50)...
