New quinazolinone derivatives of the marine-derived alkaloids fiscalin B ( 3 ) and fumiquinazoline G ( 1 ), with neuroprotective and antitumor effects, were synthesized. Eleven quinazolinone-containing indole alkaloids were synthesized, proceeding the anti analogs via a one-pot method, and the syn analogs by the Mazurkiewicz-Ganesan approach. The neuroprotection capacity of these compounds on the rotenone-damage human neuroblastoma cell SH-SY5y was evaluated using the MTT assay. Compounds 1 , 3 , 5 , and 7 showed more than 25% protection. The antitumor activity was investigated using the sulforhodamine B assay and some compounds were tested on the non-malignant MCF-12A cells. Fumiquinazoline G ( 1 ) was the most potent compound, with GI 50 values lower than 20 µM. Compounds 5 , 7 , and 11 were more active in all tumor cell lines when compared to their enantiomers. Compounds 5 , 7 , 10 , and 11 had very little effect in the viability of the non-malignant cells. Differences between enantiomeric pairs were also noted as being essential for these activities the S -configuration at C-4. These results reinforce the previously described activities of the fiscalin B ( 3 ) as substance P inhibitor and fumiquinazoline G ( 1 ) as antitumor agent showing potential as lead compounds for the development of drugs for treatment of neurodegenerative disorders and cancer, respectively.
