- 3c -or an acid addition salt thereof with pharmaceutically acceptable acids or bases, together with a pharmaceutically acceptable diluent.
The pharmacological action of the compounds of formula I is performed through inhibition of neoplastic growth of cells, blocking of reactions of ox~gen radicals, and radiosensitization. These compounds are thus particularly useful in tumor therapy.
The compounds of this invention may be prepared according to conventional techniques.
Examples of conventional technigues for preparing new compounds of formula I are nitration and halogenation of the thiophene ring, preparation of reactive derivatives of the carboxylic function, such as acid chloride, and use thereof to ~ ~7~j751~
prepare the amides.
Nitration is preferably performed by suspending the proper thiophene derivative in acetic anhydride and adding fuming nitric acid. The reaction mixture is then poured into cold water or water and ice and the desired product is separated by conventional techniques such as filtration or extraction with suitable solvents, e.g. ethyl ether.
Examples of conventional techniques for preparing halo-thio-phene derivatives are the treatment of the proper thiophene derivative (a) with a solution of a halogen, e.g. chlorine or brominer in acetic acid, or (b) with sulfuryl chloride in carbon tetrachloride in the presence of a suitable catalyst such as stannous chloride.
The preparation of reactive derivatives of the carboxylic function such as the acyl chlorides may be also performed by conventional techniques such as treatment with thionyl chloride or phosphorus pentachloride.
The acyl halides may be then reacted in a conventional manner with ammonia, primary or secondary amines, alcohols, phenols, 2û sugars, hydrazines and the like to afford amides, esters or hydrazides.
According to their very nature the compounds of formula I can form addition salts with pharmaceutically acceptable inorganic or organic bases or acids, and these salts are another object of this invention.
The biological and pharmacological activity of the compounds under examination was tested on cell cultures and under gamma radiations. Concentrations of lû , 5 x 10 , lO and 10 M of each compound were used. These aqueous solutions were added to cell cultures containing from 5Q to 60 L 929 cells per mm ;
nutrient solution RPM-1-1640 containing 3% calf serum. Contact between the cells and the compound under examination was conti-nued for six hours under nitrogen and under air. Parts of the solutions during the contact with the drug were irradiated in gamma cell with 1000, 2000 and 3000 rad always using a control sample without the drug.
The results obtained are given in Table 2 (cytotoxicity) and in Table 1 (radiosensitization of the cells in hypoxic condition, in comparison with Misonidazole, a drug known as a radiosensitizer).
For testing the reactivity with oxygen radicals, solutions of the compounds under examination in very pure water were submit-ted to irradiation by an electron flow in accordance with the following procedure:
(a) Reactivity with OH radicals.
The irradiated solution for measurement of reactivity with OH
radicals contained KCNS 10 M and increasing concentrations of the compounds under examination. The concentrations were 10 and 6 X 10 for the first five compounds of Table 1, 10 and 10 , 10 M for the other eight compounds.
The water used for the tests was neutral and made absolutely pure by deionization and four distillations also in the presence of oxidizing agents (KMnO4).
The irradiation conditions were: pulse 50nsec, dose 13 Gy.
Absorption was performed at ~ = 500nm. The results are given in Table 3.
(b) Reactivity with 2 radicals.
The 2 species was generated by irradiation of a 5 x 10 M
solution of potassium formiate satured with 2 with 12Me~ pulsed electron beams.
The concentration of the 2 radical produced is depending from the irradiation dose (which is proportional to the length of the pulse) and was in any case in excess with respect to the concentration of the reacting substance.
The results are qiven in Table 3.

The intravenous administra-tions was performed in the caudal vein at doses of 100 and 200 mg/kg in 0.9% sodium chloride solution. The administered volumes were lml/20g by oral route and 0.5 ml/20g by intravenous route.
After administration the mice were kept under control for 14 days.

At the end the mixture appears homogeneous. lt is poured into water and ice, extracted with ethyl ether and dried; the solvent is removed by evaporation.
~.~7~i7'i~
Yield, 70% after separation of the 4-nitro-2-thiophenecarboxylic acid analog owing to the different solubility in water of their barium salts; m.p. 157-158C.

(b) 4-nitro-2-cyanothiophene.
To a solution of 2-cyanothiophene (10.9 9; 0.1 mol) in 25 ml of acetic anhydride (t = 10C) are added 9 ml of fuming nitric acid (d = 1.49 g/ml).
lG The temperature is kept under control. When the reaction is complete the reaction mixture is poured into ice, the precipita-te is filtered, dried, dissolved in 40 ml of ethyl alcohol, and crystallized up to constant melting point (102C); Yield, 30%.
(c) 4-nitro-2-thiophenecarboxylic acid.
A mixture of 4-nitro-2-cyanothiophene (1.5 g; 0.1 mol) in 20 ml of concentrate hydrochloric acid is heated for two hours. As hydrolysis proceeds the reactant goes into solution. The desired product precipitates from the reaction mixture by cooling; m.p.
152-154C (water).
(d) 5-bromo-3-thiophenecarboxylic acid.
A solution containing 16 9 of Br2 (0.1 mol) in glacial acetic acid (200 ml) is added slowly to a solution of 3-thiophenecarbo-xylic acid (12.8 9; 0.1 mol) in 100 ml of glacial acetic acid.
The mixture is stirred for 20' and then poured into water and ice.
The white precipitate is filtered, washed and crystallized from water. Yield, 70%.
(e) 5-nitro-2-thiophenecarboxylic acid chloride.
The crystallized acid (1.7 9; 0.01 mol) is refluxed with an excess of thionyl chloride (0.2 mol) for 60'. The excess of ~ .7~ j 7r~( ) 1, thionyl chloride is removed under vacuum; after distillation in vacuum the desired product solidifies slowly.
5-bromo-3-thiophenecarboxylic acid chloride and its analogs are prepared in a similar manner.
5-nitro-2-thiophenecarboxylic acid amides.
5-nitro-2-thiophenecarboxylic acid chloride is dissolved in toluene and treated with a 4% aqueous solution of sodium hydro-xide containing an equimolecular quantity of the desired amino acid or amine.
The two phases are separated and the product is obtained by acidification of the aqueous phase. Alternatively when the desired product is poorly soluble in water, it is recovered from the organic phase.
The nitrothienylamides may also be obtained by nitration of the amides.
