title: Mitomycin C analogues with a substituted hydrazine at position 7. Synthesis, spectral properties, and biological activity.
abstract: A select number of mitomycin C derivatives with a substituted hydrazine group at position 7 were synthesized and tested for antineoplastic activity by using an in vivo test with murine P388 leukemia. Several of the adducts displayed activity comparable to that of mitomycin C. The X-ray-determined crystal structure of one of the derivatives (3f) is reported.
