摘要 |
The invention relates to novel anthracene compounds useful in the treatment of allergic, inflammatory conditions, tumor conditions and therapeutic compositions containing such compounds. The compounds of the present invention are 9-acyloxy-substituted 1,5-dichloro-anthracene, analogs and salts thereof. According to the practice of the invention, there are provided 9-acyloxy substituted 1,5-dichloroanthracene compounds according to the formula RC(O)O-X, where X is the 1,5-dichloroanthracene nucleus, the group RC(O)O- is attached to the 1,5-dichloroanthracene nucleus at the 9-position and wherein R represents a straight or branched chain alkyl group having 1 to 6 carbons which may be substituted with one or more groups of R1, or R represents phenyl or benzyl which may be substituted with one or two groups of R2; wherein R1 is selected from the group consisting of halogen, -NO2, -OCH3, -OCH2CH3 and -OCH2CH2CH3; and wherein R2 is selected from the group consisting of a straight or branched chain alkyl group having 1 to 4 carbons, halogen, -NO2, -OCH3, -OCH2CH3 and -OCH2CH2CH3.
