Abstract

The synthesis of new 6,10-dimethylpyridazino[4,5-h]psoralens, carrying no (4), one (5), or two (6–9) dialkylaminoalkylcarboxamide side chains on the pyridazine ring is reported. All compounds exert a significant photoantiproliferative activity. Moreover, the derivatives characterised by the protonable side chains show a notable cytotoxicity in the dark. The investigation on the mechanism of action demonstrated the capacity to intercalate into DNA base pairs and to inhibit the relaxation activity of topoisomerase II.
