Twelve novel naphthoquinone esters containing cyclopentyl and cyclohexyl substituents at C-2' of the propyl chain were synthesized by starting from 1-hydroxy-2-naphthoic acid via alkylation with cyclopentyl ester and cyclohexyl ester. They were evaluated for cytotoxicity against three cancer cell lines (human epidermoid carcinoma (KB), human cervical carcinoma (HeLa), and human hepatocellular c...

The toxic effects of the combinations of amphotericin B (AmB) and actinomycin D or AmB and 1-(2-chloroethyl)-3-cyclohexyl-1-nitrosourea were measured against the human promyelocytic leukemia cells HL-60. The toxicities of both drug combinations were greater than the additive toxicity of each of the drugs used singly, but the exact conditions under which synergism was achieved differed for each ...

Thirty-six patients with advanced gastrointestinal carcinoma were treated sequentially with full therapeutic doses of l-(2-chloroethyl)-3-cyclohexyl-l-nitrosourea followed by 5-fluorouracil. 5-Fluorouracil could be safely administered at 6 weeks although patients still demonstrated peripheral hematological depression secondary to the earlier l-(2-chloroethyl)-3-cyclohexyl-l-nitrosourea therapy....

The reactive intermediate generated by the addition of tert-butyl and 1,1,3,3-tetramethyl butyl isocyanide and cyclohexyl isocyanide to dialkyl acetylenedicarboxylate was trapped by 3-hydroxy pyridine to produce highly functionalized 4H-chromenes in fairly good  yields

Factors affecting aspartimide formation, such as protecting groups, acidity, basicity, and temperature, were studied using the model tetrapeptide, Glu-AspGly-Thr. The aspartyl carboxyl side chain in this tetrapeptide was either free or protected as a benzyl or cyclohexyl ester. Our results showed that the cyclohexyl ester led to far less aspartimide formation during acidic or tertiary amine tre...
