Hydantoins as antitumor agents

Abstract: A series of 27 hydantoins was prepared and tested as antitumor agents. These were variously substituted in the 5 position but with special emphasis on the substituents (chloro, acetyl, chloroacetyl, and methyl) in the 1 and/or 3 positions. The most active compound was 5,5-bis(4-chlorophenyl)-1,3-dichlorohydantoin with a T/C value of 190% against P-388 lymphocytic leukemia in mice.

“…This imidazolidine structure is present in a wide range of biologically active compounds with important applications in medicinal fields, such as antitumor [1] and anti-arrhythmic agents [2], anti-cancer drugs [3] having also agrochemical applications (bactericides and fungicides) [4]. Therefore, the knowledge of the physico-chemical properties of this type of compounds is important, particularly those properties that are related with their reactivity.…”

“…Hydantoins (imidazolidine-2,4-diones), having a 5-membered ring containing a reactive cyclic urea core, form a wide range of biologically active compounds [1][2][3][4] . Their 2-thioxo analogs, 2-thiohydantoins (2-thioxo-imidazolizin-4-one) also display significant biological activities and are employed as established drugs, fungicides or herbicides [5,6] .…”

“…1 The chemistry and property of hydantoin and its derivatives have been investigated for more than 140 years. These studies indicate that hydantoin and its derivatives have a broad range of biological activities including anticonvulsants, 2 antiarithmics, 3 antitumor, 4 antidepressants, 5 and antiviral agents. 6 Phenytoin 1 (5,5-diphenylhydantoin, DPH) is one of the best known derivatives of hydantoin.…”
