Abstract: | N-1 methylation of benzo-alpha-carbolines performed with Kitasatosporia setae strain yields corresponding benzo-alpha-iso-carbolines, compounds demonstrating relatively strong cytostatic and antitumor properties. To obtain radioactive benzo-alpha-iso-carbolines required for the further studies of their mode of antitumor action, a simple and useful method of the preparation of 14C-labelled compounds by microbial means has been elaborated. |
