title: [Research in antitumoral chemotherapy. X. Cytotoxic and antitumoral activity of beta-nitrostyrenes and of composed nitrovinyl derivatives].
abstract: In previous work the antitumoral cytotoxicity of beta-nitrostyrenes obtained by simplification of the aristolochic acid molecule was demonstrated. The effect of modifying the three characteristic parts of the beta-nitrostyrene molecule has now been investigated. The results obtained in vitro and in vivo allow hypothesis of a mechanism of action for the various beta-nitrostyrene and nitrovinyl compounds studied and definition of the maximum simplification compatible with retention of biological activity.
