Abstract:

A series of N7-substituted 7-aminoactinomycin D analogues with alkyl, aralkyl, and heteroaralkyl substituents was synthesized and their biological properties were studied. All of these analogues proved to be 22- to 28-fold less toxic than actinomycin D when tested against human lymphoblastic leukemia cells (CCRF-CEM) in vitro. Against the P388 mouse leukemia in vivo, most of the analogues had activity comparable to actinomycin D and one was significantly more active. The results show that substitutions of this kind do not interfere with the antitumor activity of actinomycin D and may be useful for the design of modified actinomycin D analogues with greater selectivity.
