Abstract: This invention relates to new pyridyl, quinoline and acridine bis-acyloxymethyl compounds; to compositions comprising these compounds; and to processes for their utility as fungicides, bactericides and as inhibitors of the growth of cancer in warm-blooded animals.

Abstract: This invention relates to new bis(acyloxymethyl)imidazole derivatives; to compositions comprising these derivatives; and to processes for their utility as fungicides, bactericides and as inhibitors of the growth of cancer, particularly solid tumor cancer, in warm blooded animals of the formula: ##STR1## wherein M is ##STR2## or R; each R, R' and R" are independently selected from hydrogen and Z substituted or unsubstituted alkyl, cycloalkyl, cycloalkenyl, alkenyl, aryl, and heterocyclic ring wherein said ring comprises at least one of oxygen, nitrogen, sulfur or silicon; provided that ##STR3## may form a Z substituted or unsubstituted heterocyclic, and R' and R" attached to the imidazole ring, may form a Z substituted or unsubstituted heterocyclic ring; X is selected from at least one of oxygen, sulfur, nitrogen and alkyl; provided further that silicon is not directly attached to oxygen, sulfur or nitrogen and R' is not hydrogen when X is oxygen or sulfur; and Z is selected from halogen, nitro, nitrile, alkyl

Abstract: This invention relates to new cis diamino platinum complexes; to compositions comprising these complexes; and to processes for their utility as fungicides, bacteriocides and as inhibitors of the growth of cancer in warm-blooded animals, wherein the complex is of the formula: [B(CH.sub.2).sub.n NH.sub.2 ].sub.2 Pt-M and ##STR1## wherein Pt is platinum II or platinum IV; M is selected from Y.sub.2, cyclic ##STR2## cyclic ##STR3## and cyclic ##STR4## when Pt is platinum II and X.sub.4 when Pt is platinum IV; each a is independently 1 or 2; n is from 0-3; each Y is independently --Cl, --Br, --I, --OH, --ONO.sub.2, --OSO.sub.

Abstract: This invention provides a method of providing treatment to a warm blooded animal in need of treatment of a solid cancer tumor of the colon or breast comprising administering an effective amount of a pyrrole of the formula: ##STR1##

Abstract: This invention provides a method of providing treatment to a warm blooded animal in need of treatment of a solid cancer tumor comprising administering an effective amount of a isopropylpyrrolizine of the formula: ##STR1##

Abstract: There is provided a method of synthesizing tetrachlorocyclohexanediammine platinum (IV) compounds in high purity and yield, the level of purity being suitable for pharmacological use. The compounds produced by this process have antineoplastic agents against tumor cells resistant to cis-platinum.
