Structure activity studies of a novel cytotoxic benzodiazepine
Analogues of Bz-423, a pro-apoptotic 1,4-benzodiazepine active in animal models of lupus and rheumatoid arthritis, have been designed, synthesized, and evaluated in cell culture assays. These experiments have defined the structural elements of this new cytotoxic agent required for activity.

Design, synthesis and in vitro cytotoxicity study of benzodiazepine-mustard conjugates as potential brain anticancer agents
2017, Journal of Saudi Chemical SocietyCitation Excerpt :Thus, they may serve as a unique intracellular and selective target for antineoplastic agents [15]. Moreover a recent study reveals that some benzodiazepine derivatives have antiproliferative activities [8,30,5,10]. The conjugating two pharmacophoric entities in a single molecule could be considered as a promising drug design strategy for site-specificity.
