Gem-dichlorocyclopropanes as antitumor agents
-
, (2008/06/13)
Gem-Dichlorocyclopropanes (Analog II derivatives) which demonstrate antiproliferative activity toward MCF-7 cells, in vitro and are generally not reversed by estradiol or having intrinsic estrogenicity (except the hydroxyphenyl derivative Compound 30). In general the cyclopropane compounds have the formula: STR1 or any pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof. X is selected from a group consisting of hydrogen and halogen atoms. The group R1 may be a hydrogen atom, an alkyl group, an acyl group, or an arylalkyl group. The group R2 may be a hydrogen atom, an unsubstituted aryl group or a substituted aryl group. The group R3 may be a hydrogen atom, an alkyl group, a cycloalkyl group, a substituted aryl group or an unsubstituted aryl group. The group R4 may be a hydrogen atom, an unsubstituted aryl group or a substituted aryl group. The R4 is absent when R3 is a cycloalkyl group having a first position carbon and a terminal position carbon bonded to the same carbon of the cyclopropane. Further, no more than any two of R2, R3 and R4 has an aryl group.
