The synthesis of 8-hydroxy and 8-methoxy analogues of some substituted 5-aminoimidazoacridinones (4) is described. The synthesis was carried out by a three-step sequence from the corresponding 1-chloro-4-nitro-9(10H)-acridinone precursors (1). The annulation of the imidazolo ring onto the aminoacridinone chromophore was accomplished by heating the required aminoacridinone (3) with formic acid or, in the case of 1-methyl derivatives, with N,N-dimethylacetamide. Potent cytotoxic activity against L1210 leukemia, as well as antitumor activity against P388 leukemia in mice, was demonstrated for the 8-hydroxy analogues. The corresponding 8-methoxy derivatives were not cytotoxic. However, in some cases, they showed significant in vivo antileukemic activity.
