Abstract

The ring structure of tenuazonic acid, which is an antitumor antibiotic, was modified to oxazolidine, thiazolidine, and pyrazo1idine ring, in addition to indan-dione derivatives. Their acetyl groups were condensed with a variety of aniline derivatives. The antitumor activity of these modified compounds was examined against Ehrlich solid tumor. None of the compounds tested has shown better effect than Mitomycin-C.
