title: Quinoxaline chemistry. Part 14. 4-(2-Quinoxalylamino)-phenylacetates and 4-(2-quinoxalylamino)-phenylacetyl-L-glutamates as analogues--homologues of classical antifolate agents. Synthesis and evaluation of in vitro anticancer activity.
abstract: Among a new series of 26 4-(3-substituted-2-quinoxalylamino)phenylacetates and 4-(3-substituted-2-quinoxalylamino)-phenylacetyl-L-glutamates, eight were selected at NCI for evaluation of their in vitro anticancer activity. The results obtained in comparison with the corresponding nor-compounds series seem to indicate that this type of homologation is not helpful.
