A series of ring-alkoxylated and ring-hydroxylated analogues of lucanthone was prepared and tested for antitumor activity. The most biologically interesting members of this group were the 7-hydroxylucanthone derivatives, 50 and 51, which gave T/C values in the NCI P-388 antitumor screen of 188 and 265, respectively. The apparent association constants and delta Tm values for a number of analogue-DNA complexes were determined to ascertain whether there was any quantitative correlation with biological activity. The most that can be said is that intercalation may be a necessary but far from sufficient condition for antitumor activity.
