Effects of phenyl-, benzyl-, phenethyl-, and phenylpropylphthalimides on 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA)-induced tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha production by human leukemia cell line HL-60 were examined. Among the four phthalimide derivatives, only phenethylphthalimide showed potent enhancing effect on TNF-alpha production.
