Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 2005 May 16;15(10):2571-4. doi: 10.1016/j.bmcl.2005.03.046.

Abstract

A novel gemcitabine-lipid conjugate 5 was synthesized and tested for its in vivo efficacy and toxicity. Compound 5 was tested in BxPC-3 human pancreatic tumor model in SCID mice and exhibited promising activity and lower toxicity when compared with Gemzar.
