Neurotropic and antitumor activities of the pyridyl-substituted 5-Si(Ge)-is
oxazolines and (3-alkyl-4-triphenylgermylisoxazolin-2-yl)-5-carboxylic acid
ethyl esters have been investigated. It has been shown that silylisoxazoli
n-2-yl derivatives are more potent in protection against hypoxia and Corazo
le convulsions than their analogues. Germylisoxazolin-2-yl compounds are st
ronger tumor growth inhibitors and NO-inducers than their silyl analogues.
