The synthesis and antitumor activity of new E-3-(2-chloro-3-indolylmethylene)1,3-dihydroindol-2-ones isdescribed. They were studied at the National Cancer Institute, taking into consideration the 50% growthinhibitory power (pGI50), the cytostatic effect (pTGI = total growth inhibition), and the cytotoxic effect(pLC50). All the compounds were potent growth inhibitors, with mean pGI50 ranging from 5.26 to 7.72.They were also analyzed with NCI COMPARE algorithm. Further studies were dedicated to the effects onthe cell cycle and apoptosis.
