- Potential Antitumor Agents. 48. 3'-Dimethylamino Derivatives of Amsacrine: Redox Chemistry and in Vivo Tumor Activity
-
Structure-activity relationships for a series of acridine-substituted 3'-N(CH3)2 derivatives of the clinical antileukemic drug amsacrine (1) are reported.The parent (unsubstituted) compound 3 has activity against the Lewis lung solid tumor that is superior to amsacrine(1), the new clinical amsacrine analogue 4, and the recently developed 3'-NHCH3 derivative 2.Although the compounds generally bind less well to DNA and are less dose potent in vivo than either their amsacrine (3'-OCH3) or 3'-NHCH3 analogues, they show very high levels of antitumor activity, with the 4-OCH3 derivative capable of effecting 100percent cures of the Lewis lung solid tumor.The broad structure-activity relationships for acridine substitution more closely resemble those of the amsacrine than the 3'-NHCH3 series, with 4-substituted and 4,5-disubstituted compounds showing the highest activity.

- Multi-step process for the production of methanesulfon-m-anisidide, 4'-(9-acridinylamino)-
-
A multi-step method of producing the compound methanesulfon-m-anisidide, 4''-(9-acridinylamino)-, acetate (VII), which may be in free base form and designated NSC 249992, also known as AMSA. This compound is produced by an elegant process from a starting material, 4-butyrylamino-3-methoxy-nitrobenzene, which is later transformed to methanesulfon-m-anisidide, 4''-amino- (IV) and is coupled or joined to 9-chloro-acridine, producing the chloride salt which is later converted to the acetate.
