Abstract: Described herein are novel 1-aryl-3-(2-chloroalkanylureas derivatives. These derivatives are useful anticaner agents having excellent specifilty towards cell targets and potent antineoplastic activity without systemic toxicity derivatives mutagenicity. More specifically, the invention is directed to novel derivatives of the following formula:
wherein
R1 is C1-C6 alkyl, C3-C7 cycloalkyl, C1-C6 alkoxy, C1-C6 hydroxy alkyl, or C1-C6 halide;
R2 is H, C1-C6 alky, C3-C7 cycloalkyl, C1-C6 I alkoxy, C1-C6 hydroxy alkyl or C1-C6 halide, di-halide or tri-halide; R1 and R2 may also be part of cyclic structures.
