Abstract
5,6-Dihydro-8(7H)-quinolinone was synthesized and converted into thiosemicarbazones which could be considered to be semirigid analogues of the 2-formylpyridine thiosemicarbazone class of antitumor agents. The Z and E isomers were separated and identified by 1H NMR and UV. Although the compounds showed essentially no inhibitory activity against the enzyme alkaline phosphatase, several of these agents had demonstrable anticancer activity in mice bearing the P388 leukemia. The E-configuration analogues in general were slightly more active than their corresponding Z isomers.This publication has 4 references indexed in Scilit:
