Abstract
A set of substituted sulfadiazine compounds was prepared as cytotoxic and antitumor agents by using 4-amino-N-(pyrimidin-2-yl)benzenesulfonamide (1) as the starting material. Compound 1 was reacted with different reagents to give the corresponding sulfadiazines 2-18 and hydrozaones 19a-h which were evaluated for their in vitro cytotoxicity versus four cancer cell lines. Compounds 3, 5, 19d and 19h were active against the tested cancer cells.
