2-hydroxy-11H-indeno[1,2-b]quinolin-11-one
dihydrochloride (Compound 2)
15 ml of 47~ aqueous hydrogen bromide was added
to a solution of 550 mg (1.58mmo1) of 10-
(((dimethylamino)ethyl)amino)-2-methoxy-11H-indeno[1,2-

b]quinolin-11-one in 20 ml of acetic acid, and the
mixture was refluxed with heating. Forty eight hours
later, 10 ml of 47~ aqueous hydrogen bromide was added to
the reaction mixture, followed by reflux with heating for
22 hours. After completion of the reaction, the reaction
mixture was exsiccated under reduced pressure. Water was
added to the residue, and the mixture was made weakly
basic with aqueous ammonia. Saturated saline solution, ,
was added, followed by extraction with tetrahydrofurane.
The tetrahydrofuran layer was dried with magnesium
sulfate and distilled off, and the residue was purified
by the use of silica gel column chromatography
(developing solvent; chloroform: ethanol = 10:1 (v/v)).
The purified product was dissolved in tetrahydrofuran,
and the solution was made acid with an excess amount of
4N hydrochloric acid/dioxane and exsiccated under reduced
pressure. The residue was washed with diethyl ether,
giving 366 mg of title compound (yield: 56.90 . The "
property values are shown in Table 1.
Exam~,le 3
Synthesis of 10-(((dimethylamino)ethyl)thio)-8-
hydroxy-11H-indeno[1,2-b]quinolin-11-one (Compound 10)
A mixture of 400 mg (1.4 mmol) of 10-chloro-8-
hydroxy-11H-indeno[1,2-b]quinolin-11-one, 629 mg (8.5
mmol) of lithium carbonate, 963 mg (5.7 mmol) of 2-

diethylaminoethanethiol hydrochloride and 8 ml of N,N-
dimethylformamide was stirred for 5 hours with heating at
90°C. After completion of the reaction, the reaction
mixture was added to water, and precipitated crystals
were collected by filteration. The crystals were
recrystallized from ethanol, giving 310 mg of the title
compound (yield: 57.70 . The property values are shown
in Table 1.
Example 4
Synthesis of 10-(((diethylamino)ethoxy)-8-
hydroxy-11H-indeno[1,2-b]quinolin-11-one hydrochloride
(Compound 11)
250 mg (6.3 mmol) of sodium hydride was added
to a mixture of 1.77 g (15.1 mmol) of diethylaminoethanol
and 20 ml of toluene with ice-cooling. The reaction
mixture was returned to room temperature, stirred for 30
minutes and heated to 50°C. To the reaction mixture was
added 800 mg (2.8 mmol) of 10-chloro-8-hydroxy-11H-
indeno[1,2-b)quinolin-11-one, and the mixture was stirred
at 60°C for 3 hours. After completion of the reaction,
saturated aqueous ammonium acetate was added to the
reaction mixture, and the solvent was distilled off.
Saturated aqueous sodium chloride was added to the
residue, and the mixture was subjected to extraction with
tetrahydrofuran. The tetrahydrofuran layer was dried

with magnesium sulfate and distilled off, and the residue
was purified by the use of silica gel column
chromatography (developing solvent; chloroform:ethanol =
10:1 (v/v)). The purified product was dissolved in 10 ml
of tetrahydrofuran, and 1 ml of 4N hydrochloric
acid/dioxane was added. After concentration under
reduced pressure, the obtained residue was crystallized
from diethyl ether, giving 203 mg of the title compound .
(yield: 17.90 . The property values are shown in Table
1.
Examples 5-16
Compounds 3 to 9 and 12 to 16 shown in Table 1
were prepared from the corresponding starting materials
by the procedure similar to that of Examples 1 to 4.

Pharmacological Test Example 1
Cytocidal Effect
A 96-well plate was innoculated with 2 x 103
cells/well of P 388 mouse leukemia cell line. The
compound of the present invention was dissoved in
purified water or dimethylsulfoxide, and the solution was
diluted with medium to various concentrations and placed
into respective wells and incubated. After three day's, ,
incubation, the plate was fixed with glutaraldehyde andJ
stained with crystal violet for cytometry.
The cytocidal effect of each compound was
expressed as the concentration at which the cell count is
50~ less than that of the control (IC50). The results
are shown in Table 2.
