Several halomethyl ketone derivatives of pyrimidine nucleosides have been prepared for evaluation as cytotoxic agents and one showed activity against the P388 leukemia in vivo.

Abstract

Several halomethyl ketone derivatives of pyrimidine nucleosides have been prepared for evaluation as cytotoxic agents. The first series are 1-(8-halo-2,5,6,8- tetradeoxy -beta-D-erythro-oct-7 - ulofuranosyl )thymines (7-9), whereas the second type are halo derivatives of acetophenone (12-14 and 16). These compounds are cytotoxic, and one (13) showed activity against the P388 leukemia in vivo.
