Abstract

4-Amino-3-cyano-1,2-dihydrospiro(naphathaline-2,1′-cyclohexane) (aminonitrile) was converted by interaction with p-tolyl acid chloranhydride into 4-(4-methylbenzoyl)amino-3-cyano-1,2-dihydrospiro(naphthaline-2,1′-cyclohexane) (II), which was subjected to cyclization to form 2-(p-tolyl)-4-oxo-3,4,5,6-tetrahydrospiro(benzo[h]quinazoline-5,1′-cyclohexane) (III). This aminonitrile was converted, using a known method, to 4-ethoxymethyleneimino-3-cyano-1,2-dihydrospiro(naphthaline-2,1′-cyclohexane) (IV). Compound IV was condensed with hydrazides of aromatic, alkylaromatic, and alkoxyaromatic acids in dimethylformamide, producing 5-substituted 7,8-dihydrospiro(benzo[h]triazolo[2,3-c]quinazolines) (Va-v) at high yield. The antitumor properties of the resulting compounds were studied using two models of grafted mouse tumors-Ehrlich ascites carcinoma (EAC) and sarcoma 180. Anumber of the newly synthesized compounds had, along with moderate acute toxicity, marked antitumor activity in experimental conditions.
