Synthesis and biological activity of mustard derivatives of thymine

Nucleosides Nucleotides Nucleic Acids. 2008 May;27(5):439-48. doi: 10.1080/15257770802086872.

Abstract

The synthesis and biological activity of a novel DNA cross-linking antitumor agent is presented. The new alkylating agent significantly inhibited cell proliferation, migration and invasion as tested in vitro on the A431 vulvar epidermal carcinoma cell line.
