A series of polycyclic skeleton of truxene and triazatruxene analogs has been synthesized and evaluated for antitumor and DNA binding activities. The synthesized structures were confirmed by different spectroscopic techniques such as IR, 1HNMR, 13CNMR, and mass spectroscopy. The antitumor screening was performed adopting the NCI protocol against 60 different cell lines. Compounds 2 and 8 proved to be the most active ones among the other target compounds. In a trial to investigate the mechanism of action of the target compounds, DNA binding activity was also investigated. Compounds 3f, 4-8 exhibited good binding activity explaining their mechanism. In addition, molecular modeling studies were also performed for more clearance of the data obtained from the biological screening.
