The primary hydroxyl group in hydroxymethylacylfulvene, a potent antitumor drug, is readily replaced by thiols including cysteine, N-acetylcysteine, homocysteine, and glutathione. Best yields are obtained when reaction is carried out in the presence of dilute sulfuric acid. A variety of sulfur-containing analogues have been prepared, and their toxicity to tumor cells was examined.
