Derivatives of ethylene methanedisulfonate as cancer chemotherapeutic agents

摘要

The present application discloses derivatives of ethylene methanedisulfonate as cancer chemotherapeutic agents and methods of synthesizing such derivatives. The derivatives include modifications of ethylene methanedisulfonate by replacing one or both of the chemically most reactive hydrogens of the cyclic sulfonate ester structure. The derivatives of ethylene methanedisulfonate are more active than the parent ester (i.e., ethylene methanedisulfonate) as anticancer agents against a variety of cancers.
