Abstract

Various N'-substituted anilino-N-methyl-N'-nitrosoureas(2a-n) were easily prepared from the reaction of substituted phenylhydraines $(3, 4-CH_3, {\;} 3-, {\;} 4-OCH_3, {\;} 3-, {\;} 4-F, {\;} 3, {\;} 4-Cl, {\;} 4-Br, {\;} 2-, {\;} 3-, {\;} 4-NO_2, 4-(NO_2)_2)$ with methyl isocyanate, followed by the nitrosation with 99% HCOOH and dry sodium lnitrite powder. Surprisingly, of these series of analogus, the anilino-nitrocosureas substituted with eletron-withdrawing nitro groups (2k-a) showed significantly low $ED_{30}$ values of $1.4-3.4 {\mu}g/ml.$ In addition, none of these copounds subtituted with electron-donating groups exhibited cytotoxicities.
