Synthesis and growth-inhibitory activities of imidazo[5,1-d]-1,2,3,5-tetrazine-8-carboxamides related to the anti-tumour drug temozolomide, with appended silicon, benzyl and heteromethyl groups at the 3-positionTools Cousin, David, Hummersone, Marc, Bradshaw, Tracey D., Zhang, Jihong, Moody, Christopher J., Foreiter, Magdalena, Summers, Helen, Lewis, William, Wheelhouse, R.T. and Stevens, Malcolm F.G.

In general the compounds had low inhibitory activity with GI50 values > 50 μM against both sets of cell lines. Two silicon-containing derivatives, the TMS-methylimidazotetrazine (9) and the SEM-analogue (10), showed interesting differences: compound (9) had a profile very similar to that of temozolomide with the MGMT+ cell lines being 5 to 10-fold more resistant than MGMT– isogenic partners; the SEM-substituted compound (10) showed potency across all cell lines irrespective of their MGMT status.
