Ten novel indeno[1,2-b]quinoxalin-11-one oxime ethers(4A-4J)were synthesized by indeno[1,2-b]quinoxalin-11-one oxime, saturated dihalide, and piperidine or pyrrole, morpholine, and dibutylamine. Their cytotoxicity against HeLa, A549 and MCF-7 cell lines was evaluated by MTT assay. The results indicated that compounds 4A,4B,4E,4F, and 4J showed higher cytotoxicty than cisplatin against HeLa, A549, and MCF-7 cell lines. Among them, 4A, 4B and 4F exhibited 2 to 6 folds higher cytotoxicty than cisplatin. Both the length of oxime ether chain and the nature of the terminal group have important effects on the cytotoxicity. The cell cycle and apoptosis assays indicated that 4A could change the cells cycle ratio, and induce apoptosis. Our results suggest that indeno[1,2-b]quinoxalin-11-one oxime ether modified by pyrrole is a potential anti tumor precursor compound.
