Abstract
The present invention provides certain novel nitro or nitroso substituted benzyloxy pyrimidines useful as AGT inactivators. An example of such a pyrimidine is a compound of the formula ##STR1## wherein R.sub.1, is NO.sub.2 or NO, and R.sub.2 is hydrogen, halo, C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alkyl, C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 hydroxyalkyl, thiol, C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alkythio, trifluoromethoxy, oxymethanesulfonyl, oxytrifluoromethanesulfonyl, or C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 oxyacyl. The present invention further provides pharmaceutical compositions comprising these compounds, and a method of enhancing the chemotherapeutic treatment of tumor cells in a mammal with an antineoplastic alkylating agent which causes cytotoxic lesions at the O.sup.6 -position of guanine.
