초록

Human Topoisomerase I (topo I) helps the control of DNA supercoiling in cells by assisting breaking and religation of DNA strand. It is essential for cellular metabolism and survival, hence, a good target for a novel class of anticancer drugs. As topo I inhibitor binds to the DNA-topo I complex, the religation of DNA strand is suppressed which results in the death of the target cell. Seven compounds of H-Imidazo[4, 5-g]phthalazing-4, 9-dione derivatives with $IC_50$ in the range of 0.001 and 6.27 $\mu$M in 5 different cancer cells and four compounds of 7-chloro-6-quinazoline-5, 8-dione derivatives with positive and negative topo I inhibition activities were studied.
