ABSTRACT
The relationships of structure vs. electrochemical and vs. chromatographical properties of thirteen 9-(alkylthio)acridines were studied and quantified by correlation equations between E 1/2 (t r , resp.), and substituent constants. The study of electrochemical oxidation of these compounds as the model of their possible metabolic degradation was performed. The oxidation products were separated and analysed by mass spectrometry. The probable scheme of electrochemical oxidation of studied derivatives was proposed.
