title: Synthesis and cytotoxic activity of 1-alkoxy- and 1-amino-2-hydroxy-1,2-dihydroacronycine derivatives.
abstract: Sixteen new derivatives of the natural alkaloid acronycine, bearing 1-alkoxy or 1-amino and 2-hydroxy groups, were synthesized in order to clarify the role of the C-1 substitution. Studies on the cytotoxic activity of compounds 4-19 were carried out in vitro on L-1210 cells. Structure-activity relationships are discussed.
