Compounds useful as cytotoxic agents are selected from the group consisting of compounds of Formula I and compounds of Formula II:
wherein: R1, R2, R3 and R4 are each independently selected from the group consisting of: hydrogen, alkyl, carboxy, alkoxy, hydroxyalkyl, alkylcarbonyl; alkylcarbonyloxy; alkyl substituted with alkylcarbonyloxy, thiophenylcarbonyl; nitro and cyano; thiophenyl and thiophenylthiophenyl, each of which may be unsubstituted or substituted with alkyl, carboxy, alkoxy, hydroxyalkyl, alkylcarbonyl; alkylcarbonyloxy; alkyl substituted with alkylcarbonyloxy, nitro or cyano; subject to the proviso that at least one of R1, R2, R3 and R4 is not hydrogen; A1 and A2 are each selected from the group consisting of: ═O, alkyl, alkoxy, and alkylcarbonyloxy; and the pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof. When A1 and A2 are ═O, the center ring has only two, and not three, double bonds.
作为细胞毒性剂有用的化合物是从以下化合物组中选择的:公式I的化合物和公式II的化合物:
其中:R1、R2、R3和R4分别独立地选择自以下组合物:氢、烷基、羧基、烷氧基、羟基烷基、烷基羰基、烷基羰氧基、烷基取代的烷基羰氧基、硫代苯基羰基、硝基和氰基;硫代苯基和硫代苯基硫代苯基,每种可能未取代或取代为烷基、羧基、烷氧基、羟基烷基、烷基羰基、烷基羰氧基、烷基取代的烷基羰氧基、硝基或氰基;但至少其中一个R1、R2、R3和R4不是氢;A1和A2分别选择自以下组合物:═O、烷基、烷氧基和烷基羰氧基;及其药用盐。当A1和A2为═O时,中心环只有两个双键,而不是三个。
