title: Evaluation of anticancer activity of 4-vinyl-1-arylsulfonylimidazolidinones.
abstract: To continue exploration of structure activity relationship of novel 1-(indoline-5-sulfonyl)-4-phenylimidazolidinones (1) reported as anticancer agent with broad spectrum, three 1-(arylsulfonyl)-4-vinylimidazolidinones (2) were synthesized from methyl serinate (3) in 8 steps. Reaction of intermediate 2-phenoxycarbonylaminobut-3-enyl p-toluenesulfonate (10) with arylsulfonamide in the presence of potassium carbonate produced corresponding 2 and N-(4-vinyloxazolidin-2-yl)arylsulfonamide 11 in approximately equal ratio. This reaction is believed to undergo through urea intermediate 16 as shown in scheme 3. 1-Arylsufonyl-4-vinylimidazolidinones 2 show much reduced activity against human colon carcinoma (Colo205), human chronic myelogenous leukemia (K562), and human ovarian adenocarcinoma (SK-OV-3) and compatible activity against human lung carcinoma (A549) compared to 1. Therefore phenyl at 4-position should be the optimum planar motif for the activity of 1.
