Abstract

Abstract On the basis of the results of in-silico predictions and in an effort to extend our structure–activity relationship studies, the aromatic nitrogen mustard 2-[4-N, N-bis (2- chloroethyl) amino-phenyl] butanoic acid (2-PHE-BU) was synthesized and conjugated with various steroidal alcohols. The resulting steroidal esters were evaluated for their in-vivo toxicity and antileukemic activity in P388-leukemia-bearing mice. The new derivatives ...
