title: [Antitumor activity of several new pentopyranosyl-chloroethylnitrosoureas].
abstract: Six N-(2-chloroethyl)-N-nitrosoureido derivatives of 4-deoxy-DL-pentopyranose have been synthesized and their antitumor activities were evaluated against melanoma MB16 in mice. The nitrosourea 38 was highly active in comparison with the clinically useful CCNU.
