title: Potential antitumor agents. XXII. Synthesis and cytotoxic activity of imidazo [2,1-b]thiazole adamantylthioureas.
abstract: A series of imidazo[2,1-b]thiazole adamantylthioureas (3a-f) was synthesized by reaction of the methylsulfanylethylamines 2a-f (prepared in turn from the hydroxymethylimidazo[2,1-b]thiazoles 1a-f and cysteamine) with 1-adamantylisothiocyanate. 1-Adamant-1-yl-3-[2-(6-chloro-2,3- dihydroimidazo[2,1-b]thiazol-5-ylmethylsulfanyl)ethyl] thiourea (3d) was significantly active.
