1. A method of using an N-substituted indole-3-glyoxylamide of formula 1 as an antitumor agent, where the radicals R, R1, R2, R3, R4 and Z have the following meanings:

  • R=hydrogen, (C1-C6)-alkyl, where the alkyl group is optionally mono- or polysubstituted by a phenyl ring and this phenyl ring for its part is optionally mono- or polysubstituted by halogen, (C1-C6)-alkyl, (C3-C7)-cycloalkyl, by carboxyl groups, carboxyl groups esterified with C1-C6-alkanols, trifluoromethyl groups, hydroxyl groups, methoxy groups, ethoxy groups, benzyloxy groups or by a benzyl group which is mono- or polysubstituted in the phenyl moiety by (C1-C6)-alkyl groups, halogen atoms or trifluoromethyl groups, or R is a benzyloxycarbonyl group or a tertiary-butoxycarbonyl radical (BOC radical), or an acetyl group, R1 is a pyridine structure of formula 2 or its N-oxide, where the pyridine structure is alternatively bonded to the ring carbon atoms 2, 3 and 4 and is optionally substituted by the substituents R5 and R6;

    R5 and R6 are identical or different and signify (C1-C6)-alky, (C3-C7)-cycloalkyl, (C1-C6)-alkoxy, nitro, amino, hydroxyl, halogen, trifluoromethyl, ethoxycarbonylamino radical and a carboxyalkyloxy group in which the alkyl group has 1-4 C atoms;

    R2 is hydrogen or a (C1-C6)-alkyl group, where the alkyl group is mono- or polysubstituted by halogen and phenyl, which for its part is optionally mono or polysubstituted by halogen, (C1-C6)-alkyl, (C3-C7)-cycloalkyl, carboxyl groups, carboxyl groups esterified with C1-C6 -alkanols, trifluoromethyl groups, hydroxyl groups, methoxy groups, ethoxy groups or benzyloxy groups, the (C1-C6)-alkyl group is optionally substituted by the 2-quinolyl group and the 2-, 3- and 4-pyridyl structure, which are optionally in each case mono- or polysubstituted by halogen, (C1-C4)-alkyl groups or (C1-C4)-alkoxy groups, or R2 is an aroyl radical, where the aryl moiety on which the radical is based is a phenyl ring, which is optionally mono- or polysubstituted by halogen, (C1-C6)-alkyl, (C3-C7)-cycloalkyl, carboxyl groups, carboxyl groups esterified with C1-C6-alkanols, trifluoromethyl groups, hydroxyl groups, methoxy groups, ethoxy groups or benzyloxy groups;

    R3 and R4 are identical or different and are hydrogen, (C1-C6)-alkyl, (C3-C7)-cycloalkyl, (C1-C6)-alkanoyl, (C1-C6)-alkoxy, halogen and benzyloxy, or a nitro group, an amino group, a (C1-C4)- mono or dialkyl-substituted amino group, or a (C1-C6) alkoxycarbonylamino function or (C1-C6)-alkoxycarbonylamino-(C1-C6)-alkyl function; and

    Z is O or S;

    said method comprising administering said N-substituted indole-3-glyoxylamide or an acid addition salt or N-oxide thereof to a subject in need of antitumor treatment.
