Abstract
1‐Oxoalkyl and 1,2‐dioxoalkyl‐1,2,4‐triazolidine‐3,5‐diones proved to be potent antineoplastic agents in mouse tumors and potent cytotoxic agents particularly against the growth of suspended tumor cells. The compounds with shorter substituents in position 1 or positions 1 and 2 afforded the better activity. In L1210 lymphoid leukemia cells DNA, RNA, and protein syntheses were inhibited at 100 μM after 60 min. Multiple enzyme sites in nucleic acid metabolism were affected by the compounds, i.e. DNA polymerase α, PRPP‐amido transferase, dihydrofolate reductase, thymidylate synthetase, and nucleoside kinases. These effects of the agents are probably additive in bringing about inhibition of DNA synthesis and cell death.
1Oxoalkyl and 1,2Dioxoalkyl1,2,4triazolidine3,5diones show potent antineoplastic and cytotoxic effects against tumor growth, with shorter substituents in positions 1 and 2 offering better activity.
