Based on DOCK scores 18 N-(3-benzyloxycarbonylcarboline-1-yl) ethylamino acid benzylesters (6a-r) were synthesized as anti-tumor agents. Their IC50 values against five human carcinoma cell lines ranged from 11.1 mu M to more than 100 mu M. The in vivo assay identified five derivatives of them had no antitumor action, the anti-tumor activity of nine derivatives of them equaled that of cytarabine, and the anti-tumor activity of three derivatives of them was higher than that of cytarabine. The UV and fluorescence spectra, as well as the relative viscosity and melting temperature measurements of calf thymus DNA (CT DNA) with and without the representative compound suggested that DNA intercalation could be their action mechanism. The 3D QSAR analysis of N-(3-benzyloxycarbonylcarboline-1-yl) ethylamino acid benzylesters (6a-r) revealed that their in vivo anti-tumor activity significantly depends on the molecular electrostatic and steric fields of the side chain of the amino acid residue.
