Abstract
1-Acryloyloxyethylcarbamoyl-5-fluorouracil (1) was prepared by the reaction of 5-fluorouracil and 1-acryloyloxyethyl isocyanate. Various kinds of vinyl polymers were prepared by radical polymerizations of 1, with methyl acrylate, vinylimidazole, acrylic acid, vinylpyrrolidone, and acrylamide. Antitumor activity of these vinyl polymers was tested against L-1210 leukemia in mice. 1 had toxicity, but the homopolymer of 1 and the copolymer of 1 and methyl acrylate showed excellent antitumor activity.
