Abstrakt: 6-Bis-(2-chloroethyl)amino-6-deoxy-D-galactopyranose hydrochloride has been synthesized, characterized, and evaluated for antitumor activity and bone marrow toxicity in mice. The 1D- and 2D-NMR studies show the compound to exist as a beta-anomer chair conformation (23%), alpha-anomer chair conformation (22%), and several equilibrating boat conformations or furanose forms (55%). A single ip LD10dose of 15.0 mg/kg produced antitumor activity against the murine P388 leukemia superior to that achieved with an equitoxic dose of nitrogen mustard. In normal mice, this 15.0-mg/kg dose produced minimal depression of peripheral white blood cells and no significant decrease in absolute neutrophil counts. A reduction in toxicity was also demonstrated for human bone marrow CFU-GM, as compared with nitrogen mustard and L-PAM. This and other sugar-containing mustard compounds may represent a class of antineoplastic alkylating agents with reduced bone marrow toxicity.
