Abstract

Abstract A series of amidine analogues of chlorambucil (9—12), where 5-[4-(N-alkylamidino) phenyl]-2-furancarboxamide and the chlorambucil moiety are linked by a NH (CH 2) 2 NH chain, was synthesized and their cytotoxicity has been tested against the growth of human breast cancer MCF-7 cells. Evaluation of the cytotoxicity of compounds 9—12 employing a MTT assay and inhibition of [3 H] thymidine incorporation into DNA demonstrated that ...
