Cytotoxicity effect of natural and synthetic girinimbines and their deritatives against human lung cancer cell lines A549

The present study was designed to evaluate the anticancer properties of girinimbine and its derivatives. Two different routes for the synthesis of girinimbine involving a two-step reaction or a one-pot reaction were studied. Girinimbine was synthesised through metal-catalysed heterocoupling, indol...
