Indole alkaloids of the iboga series were structurally modified by incorporation of a 3,4-dimethoxybenzyl or -benzoyl unit so that they contained the N-O-O triangle required for antileukemic activity according to the triangulation hypothesis. The cytotoxicities of the modified alkaloids in the in vitro P-388 system were not significantly increased over the unmodified alkaloids, suggesting that the triangulation hypothesis does not apply in this series at least.
通过引入3,4-二甲氧基苄基或 - 苯甲酰基单元对伊博格系列的吲哚生物碱进行结构修饰,以使它们包含根据三角剖分假说具有抗白血病活性所需的N-O-O三角形。修饰后的生物碱在体外P-388系统中的细胞毒性相比未修饰的生物碱没有显著增加,这表明三角剖分假说至少在该系列中不适用。
