6-Imino-1,2,3,4,8,9,10,11-octahydropyrido[1,2-a]pyrido[1′,2′:1,2]imidazo[4,5-f]benzimidazole-13-one: Synthesis and Cytotoxicity Evaluation
The first report of an iminoquinone of imidazo[4,5-f]benzimidazole is described. The 2D-NOESY spectrum of 1,2,3,4,8,9,10,11-octahydropyrido[1,2-a]pyrido[1’,2’:1,2]imidazo[4,5-f]benzimidazol-6-amine was used to confirm the location of the imine moiety at the C-6 position of the title compound. Cytotoxicity data from the National Cancer Institute are included.
