- Synthesis and in vitro antitumor activity of novel 2-alkyl-5- methoxycarbonyl-11-methyl-6H-pyrido[4,3-b]carbazol-2-ium and 2-alkylellipticin-2-ium chloride derivatives
-
Twenty-one types of novel ellipticine derivatives and pyridocarbazoles (5-methoxycarbonyl-11-methyl-6H-pyrido[4,3-b]carbazoles) with a nitrosourea moiety, linked by an oxydiethylene unit at the 2 position, were synthesized, and their cytotoxicity against HeLa S-3 cells was evaluated. Some of these new compounds exhibited potent antitumor activity by comparison with that of ellipticine.

- Activated N-Nitrosocarbamates for Regioselective Synthesis of N-Nitrosoureas
-
A practical and convenient method for synthesizing antitumor compounds, N-alkyl-N-nitrosoureas, regioselectively nitrosated on the nitrogen atom bearing the alkyl group is proposed.N-Alkyl-N-nitrosocarbamates are interesting intermediates in these syntheses and yield, by reaction with amino compounds, the regioselectively nitrosated N-alkyl-N-nitrosoureas.As an interesting example, N,N'-biscystamine, a new attractive oncostatic derivative, has been prepared.The cytotoxic activity of these various compounds were tested on L1210 leukemia.
