Abstract

Novel twelve esters of chlorambucil with 2-(1-hydroxyalkyl)-1,4-dihydroxy-9,10-anthraquinone were synthesized and tested for their antitumor activity in mice bearing S-180 ascitic cells as well as cytotoxic activity against L1210 cells. Eight of them were highly cytotoxic on L1210 cells (ED50, <6 μg mL-1) and derivatives 1 and 12 (T/C, 200 and 205%) appeared more active in vivo than chlorambucil (T/C, 168%).
