4-Nitrobenzofuroxans and benzofurazans bearing electron-withdrawing substituents in the 5 and 6 positions (relative to N02) have been examined for their ability to inhibit nucleic acid synthesis in rabbit thymocytes in vitro. None of the compds tested were more potent in this screen than the unsubstituted nitrobenzofurazan or nitrobenzofuroxan, suggesting that the formation and stability of Meisenheimer complexes with cellular thiols and amino groups is diminished by the presence of substituents in the 5 as well as 6 position. The 5-halogeno (F, Cl, Br) benzofuroxans nitrated in the 4 position, in contrast to 5-CFg, 5-CN, 5-CONHR, and 5-COOR benzofuroxans which direct N02 to the 7 position. Some unique chemical and biological properties of 5-F (vs. 5-C1 or 5-Br) benzofuroxan are discussed.Benzofuroxans and benzofurazans bearing N02 groups in suggested2 that a possible mode of action of these com-the 4 and 5 positions have been shownto be potent in vitro pounds at the cellular level was by forming Meisenheimer inhibitors of nucleic acid synthesis in lymphocytes. 2 It was complexes with essential cellular SH and/or amino groups.
