Synthesis and biological activity of the two isomeric 2'-C-methyl daunomycins.
The title new daunorubicin analogues have been prepared from methyl 4,6-O-benzylidene-2-C-methyl-alpha-D-ribo-hexopyranosid-3-ulose and daunomycinone. The antitumor activity of these compounds was very similar to that of daunorubicin.
