Summary

Several sulfonamides having pyrrole (5a-c, 8, 11b-19, 23, 24), pyrrolo[2,3-d] pyrimidine (6, 7, 10, 20, 21, 25) and pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyridine (22) were synthesized and evaluated for their antitumor and radioprotective activities. The structure of the synthesized compounds was elucidated by elemental analyses and spectral data. Compounds 5a, 16, 17, 19, and 23 displayed more potent antitumor activities than the reference drug, doxorubicin. On the other hand compounds 19, 23 and 25 exhibited radioprotective activities.

Zusammenfassung

Neue Pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidin-Sulfonamide mit Antitumor- und radioprotektiver Wirkung

Mehrere Sulfonamide mit Pyrrol-(5a-c, 8, 11b-19, 23, 24), Pyrrolo[2,3-d] pyrimidin- (6, 7, 10, 20, 21, 25) und Pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyridin-Resten wurden synthetisiert und auf Antitumor- und radioprotektive Aktivität untersucht. Die Struktur der neu synthetisierten Verbindungen wurde mittels Elementaranalyse und Spektraldaten bestimmt. Die Verbindung 5a, 16, 17, 19, und 23 zeigten eine stärkere Antitumor-Aktivität als die Referenz-substanz Doxorubicin. Die Verbindungen 19, 23 und 25 hatten radioprotektive Wirkung.
