Title: Antitumor agents. 25. Synthesis and antitumor activity of uracil and thymine alpha-methylene-gamma-lactones and related derivatives.

Authors: Lee KH, Wu YS, Hall IH.

Abstract: Uracil and thymine alpha-methylene-gamma-lactones and related derivatives have been synthesized as novel potential alkylating antitumor agents. The synthesis of these compounds involved the convenient Reformatsky-type reaction between ethyl-alpha-(bromomethyl)acrylate and the proper pyrimidinyl ketones. Preliminary in vivo tumor assay indicated that these compounds were active against the Walker 256 carcinosarcoma in rats and the P-388 lymphocytic leukemia as well as the B-16 melanotic melanoma in mice at 2.5-25 mg/kg.
