Potential anticancer agents: 5-(N-substituted-aminocarbonyl)- and 5-(N-substituted-aminothiocarbonyl)-5,6,7,8-tetrahydrofolic acids

5-[[N-[(Ethoxycarbonyl)alkyl]amino]carbonyl] (6-9) and the corresponding aminothiocarbonyl (12-15) derivatives of 5,6,7,8-tetrahydrofolic acid were prepared as multisubstrate analogues of the substrate-cofactor adduct in the reactions catalyzed by the folate-mediated one-carbon transfer reactions. Evaluation in vitro showed that 7 (alkyl = hexyl) was cytotoxic to H.Ep-2 cells (ED50, 4 μM) but noncytotoxic to proliferating L1210 cells. No activity was observed for 7 against the P388 leukemia in mice.
