This invention is directed to benzothiopyrano ¢2,3-b!-, ¢3,2-b!- and ¢3,2-c!-pyridines substituted in the positions 6 and 9. The compounds of the invention have general formula (I) wherein: one of X, Y or Z is nitrogen (-N=), the others being carbon (-CH=); R' is selected from the group consisting of (C1C4)alkyl, nitro or -NH-R1, wherein R1 is selected from the group consisting of -CO-CH2-NR2R3, (C1-C10)alkyl, (C2-C10)alkyl having one or two substituents selected from the group consisting of -OR4 and -NR2R3, (C2-C10)alkyl interrupted by one or two oxygen atoms or by one -NR5- group, and said (C2C10)alkyl being optionally substituted by one or two hydroxy or -NR2R3 groups; R is selected in the group consisting of hydrogen, (C1-C10)alkyl, (C2C10)alkyl having one or two substituents selected from the group consisting of -OR4 and -NR2R3, (C2-C10)alkyl interrupted by one or two oxygen atoms or by one -NR5- group, and said (C2-C10)alkyl being optionally substituted by one or two hydroxy or -NR2R3 groups. These compounds have antitumor activity against human leukemias and solid tumors sensitive to treatment with mitoxantrone and antitumor antibiotics, such as doxorubicin.
