A synthesis procedure for benzazolo[3,2-a]quinolinium chloride salts and the inclusion of amino-substituent and nitro-substituent resulting in four compounds such as NBQ-38(7-Ethyl-3-nitrobenzimidazolo[3,2-a]quinolinium Chloride), NBQ-95(2-Chloro-10-methyl-3-nitrobenzothiazolo[3,2-a] quinolinium chloride), ABQ-38 (3-amino-7-ethylbenzimidazo[3,2-a]quinolinium chloride), and ABQ-95(3-amino-2-chloro-10-methylbenzothiazolo[3,2-a]quinolinium chloride) wherein said procedures provides an increment in the compounds biological activity. The compounds are further used for intra cellular binding, cytotoxicity on malignant cells through apoptosis activation mediated by mitochondrial damage and caspases 3 and 7 activation, cellular organelles binding and damage, and a marker due to the auto-fluorescent properties. |
