title: Synthesis and antitumor activity evaluation of Delta2-1,2,4-oxadiazoline derivatives.
abstract: 4-Adamantyl-5-aryl-3-phenyl-Delta2-1,2,4-oxadiazolines were synthesized and evaluated in vitro as antitumor agents against 60 human tumor cell lines. Some derivatives exhibit both cell selectivity and tumor growth inhibition activity. In particular, 2,6-dichlorophenyl derivative (2q), the most active of the series, possesses significant activity on 26 cell lines at 10(-5) M.
