Abstract
Structure/activity studies were carried out with thiazolidinyl- and perhydrothiazinylphosphamide ester, which differ in the structure of the phosphamide moiety and in the rate of spontaneous hydrolysis to activated oxazaphosphorines. Antitumour activity in mice with advanced P388 tumours growing subcutaneously was increased 30- to 40-fold when one 2-chloroethyl group in l-aldophosphamide-perhydrothiazine was substituted by a mesylethyl group.
