Cytostatic activity of steroid linked nitrosoureas. 1984

W J Zeller, and J Schreiber, and A D Ho, and D Schmähl, and G Eisenbrand

First investigations on the therapeutic activity of a new group of steroid-linked N-(2-chloroethyl)-N-nitrosocarbamoyl-L-alanine esters (CNC-L-alanine esters) in a nitrosourea-sensitive rat leukemia (L 5222) characterized by a relatively high content of glucocorticoid binding sites are presented. Despite a considerable range of optimal and toxic doses of the different analogs, the respective therapeutic ratios do not appear to be significantly influenced by the nature of the carrier molecules to which CNC-L-alanine is attached. However several steroid-linked representatives are distinctly more active than CNC-L-alanine. The androsterone-3-ester and the dihydrotestosterone-17-ester, in particular effected high percentages of cures in contrast to CNC-L-alanine.

D013256 Steroids A group of polycyclic compounds closely related biochemically to TERPENES. They include cholesterol, numerous hormones, precursors of certain vitamins, bile acids, alcohols (STEROLS), and certain natural drugs and poisons. Steroids have a common nucleus, a fused, reduced 17-carbon atom ring system, cyclopentanoperhydrophenanthrene. Most steroids also have two methyl groups and an aliphatic side-chain attached to the nucleus. (From Hawley's Condensed Chemical Dictionary, 11th ed) Steroid,Catatoxic Steroids,Steroids, Catatoxic
