[Hemisynthesis of antineoplastic conjugates with nitrogen-mustard proteins].
The synthesis of new conjugates with inhibitory action on tumour growth is investigated by linking amino functions of proteins compounds (lysozyme and alpha s-casein) through an amide linkage at the carboxylic function of nitrogen mustards (chlorambucil and melphalan). The polychlorambucil amides of lysozyme and alpha s-casein derivatives prepared showed experimental antitumour activity when these conjugates were screened against the experimental P388 leukemia. In the case of the conjugates lysozyme-melphalan, an antitumour activity is observed when the amino function of the drug is combined with the carboxylic functions of the protein contrary to the situation of the free amino function of the drug described into the literature.
