A series of 1-acetoxymitosene analogues, in which the substituent at C-6 was varied, was prepared by total synthesis and screened for activity against P388 leukemia in mice and induction of lambda phage in Escherichia coli. Among the 6-substituents prepared, none was as effective as the methyl group in conferring biological activity. However, certain N-methylcarbamates were more active than the unsubstituted carbamates.
