Three new nitrosourea analogs (CNCC, RFCNU, and chlorozotocin) had comparable activities in vivo against L1210 leukemia cells. In addition to the antileukemia effect, these drugs also decreased both the humoral immune response to sheep red blood cells and the delayed hypersensitivity reaction to oxazolone. The immunodepression induced by these agents lasted at least 25 days, and could not be reversed by the transplantation of normal syngenic bone marrow cells into treated animals.

L1210 leukemia was used to compare the antitumor activities of three nitrosoureas (chlorozotocin, RFCNU and CNCC) encapsulated in liposomes with those in the free state. The results obtained varied according to the chemical structure of the compound, its solubility in oil or water, the route of administration into the body, and the treatment dose. The application of liposomes in the chemotherapy of malignant disease deserves further investigations.

Three chemical pathways were used for the synthesis of four new N'-(2-chloroethyl)-N-[2-(methylsulfinyl)ethyl]- and N'-(2-chloroethyl)-N-[2-(methylsulfonyl)ethyl]-N- or N'-nitrosoureas. These compounds are plasma metabolites of CNCC, a promising antineoplastic (2-chloroethyl)nitrosourea. Preliminary antitumor evaluation was performed against L1210 leukemia implanted intraperitoneally in mice. Among these compounds, two of them exhibited a greater antitumor activity compared to that of the parent mixture.
