JPS6153342B

A 2-cyanoaziridinyl-(1)-2-substituted-aziridinyl-(1)-methane wherein R is a nitrile or carbamoyl group, and R1 and R2 each independently is a hydrogen atom, an aliphatic hydrocarbon radical containing up to 10 carbon atoms optionally substituted by hydroxyl, alkoxy, amino, alkylamino, dialkylamino, alkoxycarbonyl, cyano, 1, 2 or 3 halogens, cycloalkyl, phenyl or phenoxy; nitrile, carboxyl, alkoxycarbonyl or optionally hydrogenated monocyclic heteroaryl or phenyl optionally substituted by alkyl, alkoxy, hydroxy, alkoxcarbonyl, dialkylamino, alkylthio, trifluoromethyl, nitro, carbamoyl, nitrile, sulphonamido, hydroxyalkyl, methylenedioxy, or halogen; or R1 and R2, together with the carbon atom to which they are attached, form a ring containing up to 8 ring members of which at least one may be oxygen, sulphur, SO, SO2+L, NH, N-alkyl, N-acyl or N-alkoxycarbonylalkyl, and which can be substituted by alkyl, alkoxy, hydroxyl, alkylenedioxy, alkoxycarbonyl, hydroxyalkyl, alkoxycarbonylalkyl, dialkylamino, oxo or 2-cyanoaziridino groups, or can be fused to 1 or 2 benzene rings or can be bridged by alkylene radicals containing up to 3 carbon atoms. The compounds are characterized by cytostatic and immune response-stimulating activity.
