Abstract (en)

[origin: WO8200642A1] Novel, highly effective nitrosoureas useful in the treatment of mammaliam tumors. The high degree of selectivity of the compounds is attributed to the positioning of certain electronegative groups on the ss-carbon of the unnitrosated side of the molecule. Hypothetically, this may aid in hydrogen bonding to certain enzyme active sites, thereby more selectively eliminating enzymatic maintenance of proteins masking tumor cell surface antigens, which in turn prevent normal immune system destruction of neoplastic tissue. The activity of the compounds is further shown to be superior to that of MeCCNU (1-(4-trans-methylcyclohexyl)-3-(2-chloroethyl)-3-nitrosourea), a highly active compound commonly employed in cancer chemotherapy. Compounds of the following general formula are disclosed: (FORMULA) and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, wherein hal is chlorine or fluorine; R is a hydroxy, halogen, carboxylic acid group or derivatives thereof; n is 4 to 7, wherein the cycycloalkyl group may be optionally substituted with one or more methyl groups or hydroxyl groups.
