Uses
Amsacrine (Amsidyl) is used as an Investigational drug.
Uses
Amsacrine is a drug undergoing intensive trials for severe leukemia and lymphoma. It is a cytotoxic drug that binds with DNA with expressed specificity to the adenosine–tyrosine pair, thus inhibiting DNA synthesis. It has been suggested to be used for severe leukemia. A synonym of this drug is amsidyl.
Uses
Antineoplastic.
Definition
ChEBI: A sulfonamide that is N-phenylmethanesulfonamide substituted by a methoxy group at position 3 and an acridin-9-ylamino group at position 4. It exhibits antineoplastic activity.
brand name
Amsidyl (Parke-Davis);Amsakrin.
Synthesis
Amsacrine, 4-(9-acridinylamino)-3-methoxyphenyl-N-methansulfonamide (30.6.11), is made by sulfonating 4-nitro-m-anisidine with methanesulfonyl chloride, which forms a sulfonyl amide 30.6.9, and the nitro group is reduced to an amino group by hydrogen, forming 4-amino-3-methoxyphenyl-N-methansulfonamide (30.6.10). Reacting this with 9-chloroacridine gives amsacrine (30.6.11).
