title: 14-esters of 7-O-(3,4-di-O-acetyl-2,6-dideoxy-alpha-L-lyxo-hexopyranosyl)adriamycinone: synthesis and antitumor activity.
abstract: A range of 14-esters (8 approximately 13) of the title compound, 3'-deamino-3'-hydroxydoxorubicin 3',4'-diacetate (5), has been synthesized by nucleophilic substitution of the corresponding 14-bromide (6) by the appropriate sodium carboxylate salts. Antitumor activities were determined in vivo in the murine P388 lymphocytic leukemia assay and compared with those of the 14-hydroxy and 14-acetoxy analogs.
