title: New N-amino acid derivatives of daunorubicin.
abstract: New N-amino acid derivatives of daunorubicin have been obtained by acylation of daunorubicin amino group with alpha, beta, and gamma amino acids and their N,N-dibenzyl derivatives. The results of the antitumor activity determination have evidenced that the change of the amino function position in the daunorubicin derivatives, in relation to that of the parent antibiotic, causes the loss of activity.
