Preparation of 5-alkylidene-4-thioxo-2-thiazolidinone (1) and 8,8-R¹,R²-5,8-dihydro-2H-[1,3]thiazolo[5′,4′:5,6]thio-pyrano[2,3-d][1,3]thiazol-2,6 (3H)-dithione (3). To a solution of 4-thioxo-2-thiazolidinone or 2,4-dithioxo-thiazolidine (5 mmol) in the appropriate ketone (20 mL),
2-3 drops of ethanolamine were added. The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 1 h, then diluted with H2O and 2-3 drops of AcOH were added. The solid product was filtered off, washed with H2O, EtOH, and Et2O, and recrystallized with ethanol or toluene for 1 or with mixtures of DMF-EtOH or DMF-AcOH (1:2) for 3

Compounds 2a, 3a, and 2b were evaluated with a 60 human tumor cell lines panel at concentrations of 10-5 M and showed the following mean growth percent values: 2a - 101.51%, 3a - 108.41%, 2b - 105.07%. However, decreases in the growth percent values were detected following treatment of selected cell lines with compounds: MOLT-4 (leukemia) - 62.73% (compound 2a); IGROV1 (ovarian cancer) - 50.98% and UO-31 (renal cancer) - 49.34% (compound 2b). Compounds 4a, 5a, and 6a were passed on for evaluation in the full panel of 60 human tumor cell lines at 10-fold dilutions ranging from 10-4 to 10-8 M. Compounds were characterized by the following values of mean dose response parameters: lgGI50 = -4.04, lgTGI = -4.01, lgLC50 = -4.0 (compound 4a); lgGI50 = -4.00, lgTGI =
-4.00, lgLC50 = -4.00 (compound 5a); lgGI50 = -4.66, lgTGI = -4.25, lgLC50 = -4.04 (compound 6a). Compound 4a showed the highest antitumor cytotoxicity against leukemia cell lines: HL-60 (TB), (lgGI50 = -4.62), MOLT-4; (lgGI50 = -4.48) and SR (lgGI50 = -5.13). Compound 6a sensitized melanoma UACC-62 cell line (lgGI50 = -4.91)
as well as breast cancer MDA-MB-435 cell line (lgGI50 =
-4.87) but did not show a selective influence on any whole cancer subtype cell line panel.
