The invention relates to a new anti-cancer chemical compound which has been called rooperol and certain derivatives thereof of the general formula <IMAGE> in which A is chosen from the group including a phenyl group, a substituted phenyl group and -CH2-O-R5 where R5=H, an alkyl (C1-C5), aralkyl or acyl substituent; R1 and R2 are chosen from substituents including H for both or singly if one of them is -OH, -NH2, -SH, <IMAGE> or taken together R1 and R2 are =0; R3 is H or <IMAGE> where R6 is an alkyl group (C1-C7); either of R4 or B are chosen from substituents including H, <IMAGE> a phenyl group, substituted phenyl group or a furyl group. |
