The synthesis of new pyrrolocarbazoles substituted at N-1/N-10 positions is described. All the compounds tested demonstrated moderate to high Pim-1/Pim-3 kinase inhibitory potency. The most active inhibitors identified in this series (3, 17) have an alkyl chain bridging the N-1 and N-10 positions. These compounds (3, 17) exhibited apoptosis-inducing activity toward acute myeloid leukemia IPC-81 cells, but not toward normal fibroblasts.

Synthesis and biological activities of 4-substituted pyrrolo[2,3-a]carbazole Pim kinase inhibitors.

Pyrrolo[2,3-a]carbazole-3-carbaldehydes are potent Pim kinase inhibitors with in vitro antiproliferative activities. In the present study, we report the synthesis and biological activities (Pim kinase inhibition and in vitro antiproliferative potency) of new 4-substituted pyrrolo[2,3-a]carbazoles. The results demonstrated that the Pim kinase inhibitory potency (especially Pim-3) can be conserved for pyrrolo[2,3-a]carbazoles bearing a methoxycarbonyl group at the 4-position without a formyl at the 3-position.

We have previously demonstrated that pyrrolo[2,3-a]carbazole-3-carbaldehydes are potent Pim kinase inhibitors with in vitro antiproliferative activities. In the present study, we report the synthesis of new pyrrolocarbazoles substituted at the N-10 position. When their ability to inhibit Pim kinase activities were evaluated in in vitro assays, we observed that this nitrogen atom can be substituted without loss of Pim-1 and Pim-3 inhibitory potencies.
