    Area of Science:

    • Medicinal Chemistry
    • Pharmacology
    • Oncology

    Background:

    • Bis (2-chloroethyl) amino groups are known for antimitotic properties and therapeutic potential.
    • Ketocaine, a butyrophenone derivative with local anesthetic activity, affects tissue metabolism and inhibits lymphocyte mitosis.
    • These properties suggest potential for developing new anticancer agents.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To synthesize and evaluate novel compounds incorporating the bis (2-chloroethyl) amino group.
    • To investigate the structure-activity relationships of these compounds against Ehrlich ascites tumor.
    • To identify potential anticancer drug candidates.

    Main Methods:

    • Synthesis of compounds based on a general formula, varying chain length, nitro group position, and functionalization.
    • In vivo testing of synthesized compounds in mice bearing Ehrlich ascites tumor.
    • Correlation of antitumor activity with specific structural features of the compounds.

    Main Results:

    • Several synthesized compounds exhibited potent antitumor activity against Ehrlich ascites tumor in mice.
    • Antitumor efficacy was correlated with the position and length of the carbonyl chain, nitro group, and functionalization.
    • Specific structural modifications influenced the observed anticancer effects.

    Conclusions:

    • The study successfully identified novel compounds with significant antitumor potential.
    • Structural modifications of the bis (2-chloroethyl) amino moiety can modulate anticancer activity.
    • These findings provide a basis for further development of these compounds as anticancer therapeutics.
