RESUMEN
This study aimed to study the in vitro antioxidant activity and cytotoxicity on tumor cells lines of six synthetic substances derived from riparins. All the substances showed antioxidant activity and riparins C, D, E, F presented cell growth inhibition rates greater than 70%, suggesting that these molecules have antitumor properties. These substances also caused greater than 80% releases of cytoplasmic lactate dehydrogenase enzyme (LDH). Although the antioxidant and antitumor properties presented herein require further assessment, the outcomes indicate that these novel riparins are promising biologically active compounds.

A series of derivatives analogous to Nb-benzoyltryptamine were synthesized by the Schotten-Bauman procedure. The products obtained were: Nb-4-methoxy-benzoyltryptamine, Nb-2,4-dimethoxy-benzoyltryptamine, Nb-3,4-dimethoxy-benzoyltryptamine, Nb-3,4-methylenedioxy-benzoyltryptamine and Nb-3,4,5-trimethoxy-benzoyltryptamine. They were characterized through the usual spectrometric methods (UV, IR, 1H and 13C NMR) and showed non-selective relaxant activity in guinea-pig ileum pre-contracted with acetylcholine, histamine and KCl.
