Abstract
A number of substituted isoquinolin-1-ones, possible bioisosteres of t he 5-aryl substituted 2,3-dihydroimidazo[2,1 -a]isoquinolines, were sy nthesized and tested for their antitumor activity against five differe nt human tumor cell lines. O-(3-hydroxypropyl) substituted compound (1 5) exhibited the best antitumor activity which is 3-5 times better tha n 5-[4'-(piperidinomethyl) phenyl]-2,3-dihydroimidazo [2,1-a]isoquinol ine (1).
