A range of 17 derivatives of flavone‐8‐acetic acid (FAA) with a 6‐methyl substituent have been prepared and their anti‐tumour activity evaluated in vitro against a panel of human and murine tumour cell lines and in vivo against MAC 15A. While many of the compounds show activity comparable to FAA in vitro , this essentially disappears in vivo , possibly due to degradation before the compounds can reach the tumour site.
