title: Antitumor activity of MST-16, a novel derivative of bis(2,6-dioxopiperazine), in murine tumor models.
abstract: We studied the antitumor activity of newly synthesized bis(1-acyloxymethyl) derivatives of 4,4'-(1,2-ethanediyl)bis(2,6-piperazinedione) using i.p.-i.p. models of P388 leukemia and B16 myeloma. As a result, we found 4,4'-(1,2-ethanediyl)bis(1-isobutoxycarbonyloxymethyl-2,6-piperazi nedione) (MST-16) to possess considerable therapeutic activity. MST-16 showed not only marked life-prolonging effects in both P388 leukemia- and B16 melanoma-bearing mice but also a greater therapeutic ratio than did its parent compounds, ICRF-154 and ICRF-159. Further studies revealed that MST-16 has considerable therapeutic activity against a number of other tumors such as ascitic forms of L1210 leukemia, colon 26 adenocarcinoma, and MH-134 hepatoma and solid forms of B16 melanoma, Lewis lung carcinoma, colon 38 adenocarcinoma, and M5076 fibrosarcoma. These results suggest that MST-16 is very promising as an antitumor agent.
