dihydropyrrolo [2, 1-a] isoquinolines, were designed as cytotoxic agents based on principles
of combination in medicinal chemistry and taking the parent compounds' different anti-
proliferative mechanisms into consideration. Twenty-two novel hybrids were synthesized
through a convenient route, with a key step of core pyrrole formation and evaluated for their
anti-proliferative activities in vitro against K-562, A-549, SMMC-7721, SGC-7901 and HCT …
