Abstract
A new route has been developed for the preparation of 3'-N-protected doxorubicin analogues. 4-Demethoxy-3'-N-trifluoroacetyldoxorubicin (5) was synthesized in an approach to an orally active anthracycline analogue. Tested against the B-16 murine solid tumor in mice, this compound increased life span by 133% when it was administered intraperitoneally at 25 mg/kg, and 52% when it was given orally at 50 mg/kg.
