A series of carbocyclic analogues of netropsin were synthesized and evaluated for their capacity to inhibit human topoisomerases I and II in vitro. The compounds are oligopeptides containing 1,4-di- and 1,2,5-trisubstituted benzene rings and unsubstituted N-terminal NH2 groups. Compounds 4-7 consist of two netropsin-like units linked by aliphatic (tetra- and hexamethylene) chains. In the topoisomerase I and II assay, the relaxation of pBR322 plasmid was inhibited by compounds 4-7 at 100 μM concentration.
