Abstract
Four new imide derivatives of 3-nitro-1,8-naphthalic acid have been synthesised. The compounds show strong cytostatic activity against both HeLa and KB cells and are moderately toxic towards both mice and rats (LD50 above 4 mg/kg IP). Two of the most active compounds, M-4212 and M-12210, prevented the development of mouse Ehrlich ascites and rat Yoshida carcinoma. All these drugs block cell growth by inhibiting the synthesis of both DNA and RNA. In particular, both M-4212 and M-12210 raise the melting point of double-stranded DNA.Entities:
