Abstract: The synthesis and CDK inhibitory properties of a series of indolo[6,7-a]pyrrolo[3,4-c]carbazoles is reported. In addition to their potent CDK activity, the compounds display antiproliferative activity against two human cancer cell lines. These inhibitors also effect strong G1 arrest in these cell lines and inhibit Rb phosphorylation at Ser780 consistent with inhibition of cyclin D1/CDK4.
