title: Potential antitumor agents: procarbazine analogs and other methylhydrazine derivatives.
abstract: With the objective of developing new antitumor agents, two groups of hydrazine compounds, having structural features in common with the antitumor agents procarbazine and 1-acetyl-2-picolinoylhydrazine, were synthesized. The L-1210 leukemia system was used to evaluate compounds of both groups. The aliphatic procarbazines also were screened for antitumor activity as bis(benzyloxycarbonyl) derivatives and as derivatives having a phthalazine nucleus. No L-1210 antitumor activity was exhibited by these compounds.
