8 Nitrofurans related to 2-[2-(5-nitrofuryl)vinyl]-4-quinolinecarboxylic acid and 6 Schiff bases of 5-nitrofuraldehyde were prepared and tested for their effect upon Ehrlich ascites carcinoma in mice. As the results, 2-[2-(5-nitrofuryl)vinyl]-8-quinolinol acetate and 2-[2-(5-nitrofuryl)vinyl]-4-quinolinecarboxylic acid hydrazide were shown to be very effective in inhibiting the cancer cells growth.
