Abstract

Abstract Alkylating agents have been found to have chemotherapeutic value in cancer treatment. The difficulty of altering the alkylation rate or specificity of alkylating agents is solved by methyl release from metallo N-methyl porphyrins in which the release rate is determined by the particular metal ion of the complex. Moreover, it has been shown that porphyrins accumulate specifically in tumors. Sodium aquo-N-methyltetra (p-sulfophenyl) porphinatocopper (II) trifluoromethanesulfonate has been shown to have activity against lymphocytic PS-P-388 (P388) leukemia in mammals. A wide range of N-substituents and metallo complexes, and their preparation are given. Anti-tumor use is demonstrated against P388 leukemia in animals.
