SETT ATT FRAMSTELLA NYA 5-KARBOXIALKYL-2-IMINOBARBITUR- OCH 2-TIOXOBARBITURSYRADERIVAT

摘要

5-Carboxyalkyl-2-iminobarbituric and 5-carboxyalkyl-2-thioxobarbituric acids and derivatives thereof are prepared either by condensation of a triester of a tricarboxylic acid with a thio or imino diamide to yield an ester which is saponified, the desired compound being obtained by liberation with a mineral acid from an ammoniacal medium containing the saponified ester. Alternatively, free tricarboxylic acids may be substituted for the triesters. The compounds described herein have evidenced a therapeutic effect in animals having transplanted tumors, and have inhibited tumor growth and lengthened the life of animals and humans.
