This invention belongs to the field of
organic synthesis and relates to a
nitrogen-containing [3,2-b]indole derivative, its preparation method, and its application. The
nitrogen-containing [3,2-b]indole derivative is a compound, optical isomer, or pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, as shown in the following structure: ; wherein R1, R2, R3, and R4 are independently selected from
hydrogen atoms, halogens, cyano groups, C1-C8
alkyl groups, and C1-C8 alkoxy groups; R5, R6, R7, and R8 are independently selected from
hydrogen atoms, halogens, and C1-C8
alkyl groups; R9 is selected from C1-C8
alkyl groups; when R1, R2, R3, R4, R5, R6, R7, and R8 are all
hydrogen atoms, R9 is selected from C1-C2 alkyl groups. The compound exhibits
antitumor activity, particularly against
HeLa cervical cancer, showing a significant
inhibitory effect on its proliferation.
