Synthetic methodologies for the preparation of substituted 5-nitro- an
d 5-aminoanthra[1,9-cd]-pyrazol-6(2H)-ones, 4 and 5 respectively, subs
tituted with a basic side at N-2 and dioxy substitution in the A-ring,
are reported. These compounds are essentially devoid of activity agai
nst in vitro L1210 leukemia and in vivo murine P388 leukemia.
