Popis: Water-soluble derivatives of ara-cytidine (cytarabine, Cytosar) were prepared and tested for antitumor, immunosuppressive, and antiarthritic activities in animals after oral administration. The compounds tested included the 5'-palmitate, 5'-benzoate, and 5'-adamantoate esters of ara-cytidine, made water soluble by use of their hydrochloride salts of peptidyl derivatives, and two basic 5' esters (5'-nicotinoate and 5'-quinuclidinate) as their hydrochloride salts. Five of the compounds had antitumor activity superior to that found with ara-cytidine itself after oral administration in the L1210 leukemic mouse assay. One of these, 5'-adamantoyl-ara-cytidine hydrochloride, had antitumor activity after oral administration approaching that achieved with parenterally administered ara-cytidine.
