Antitumor activity of derivatives of mycophenolic acid.

One hundred and eight derivatives of mycophenolic acid (MA) have been prepared by modifications at the phenolic hydroxyl and/or carboxyl sites. None of these compounds was as effective as MA in suppressing cell growth of L-518Y cell in vitro, whereas several compounds with changes at both the hydroxyl and carboxyl groups were more effective than MA against Ehrlich solid carcinoma and L-1210 leu...

Antitumor activity of mycophenolic acid.

n our laboratory in 4CS mice. (3) Mouse ascites hepatoma, MH134, was converted into ascitic form by Sato et al.*\ from a C3H/HeN mouse hapatoma induced after treatment with carbon tetrachloride by Andervont et al.5) It has been maintained in C3H/He mice with distinct strain specificity in tumor take in our laboratory. (4) Mouse ascites sarcoma, SR-C3H/He Th62, was originally induced with Schmid...

Antiviral activity of cholesteryl esters of cinnamic acid derivatives.

Cholesteryl 3",4"-dimethoxycinnamate (7) and a new synthesized o-coumaroyl ester of 3 beta-(2'-hydroxyethoxy)-cholest-5-en (13) exhibited a marked activity against poliovirus type 1 (Mahoney). Compound 7 showed an approximately 20-fold greater selectivity in its antiviral activity than compound 13. These compounds were selected from thirteen steryl esters of cinnamic acid derivatives through an...
