UNSATURATE AMINO COMPOUNDS FOR USE AS ANTICANCER AND ANTIPROTOZOIC AGENT

摘要

The invention relates to compounds of formula (I), wherein R1 and R2, each independently of the other, are selected from lower alkyl that is unsubstituted or substituted by one or more fluorine atoms which are not linked to the carbon atom of R1 or R2 bonding the nitrogen; from lower alkenyl wherein the double bond does not originate from the carbon atom that is bonded to a nitrogen bonding R1 or R2; from lower alkynyl wherein the triple bond does not originate from the carbon atom that is bonded to a nitrogen bonding R1 or R2; from cycloalkyl; and from cycloalkyl-lower alkyl; with the proviso that not more than one of the two radicals R1 and R2 is methyl; or salts thereof. The mentioned compounds are pharmacologically active against disorders that are responsive to a recuction in intracellular polyamines, such as tumours or protozoal diseases.
