Abstract

Several nitrosoureido nucleosides (3a, 3b, 5a, 7a, 7c, and loa) designed as inhibitors of enzymes that metabolize pyrimidine nucleotides have been prepared and their chemical and biological properties studied. The methylnitrosoureas 3a and 3b were not significantly cytotoxic to H. Ep.-2 and L1210 cells in vitro but showed moderate activity in the P388 mouse leukemia screen (79% ILS for 3a and 56% ILS for 3b). The (chloroethy1) ...
