Abstract

Several diamino quinoxalines were designed, synthesized and evaluated as anti-tumor agents. Two compounds showed the most potent cytotoxic activities against the leukemia CCRF-CEM cell line (GI(50)<0.01microM) and the ovarian cancer cell line OVCAR-4 (GI(50)=0.03microM), respectively, with comparable/better activities than Methotrexate (MTX). Docking calculations of the complexes of hDHFR with the most active compounds identified the binding mode of the described molecules with respect to MTX.
