Abstract

Two novel series of thio compounds bearing internal structural modifications of hexestrol were synthesized as potential anticancer agents. The first contains several N-substituted thiourea functions, and the second contains various N4-substituted-3-thiosemicarbazide moieties in place of one α-ethyl group of hexestrol dimethyl ether. The products showed no antileukemic activity in the P-388 lymphocytic leukemia system and did not exhibit any anticonvulsant or estrogenic properties.
