“…Among the monosubstituted straight-chain analogues (5-7, 10, 11, 13, and 14), only the ethylamino (6) and phenethylamino ( 14) derivatives showed slight activity. In this series, branching adjacent to the nitrogen as in the cyclopentylamino derivative (8) or disubstitution on nitrogen (15, 16, and 18) was tolerated, and these derivatives were among the most active in vivo. This is in contrast to the 4-alkylthio series, where branching in the alkyl chain was not tolerated.…”
