Hydrosoluble poly(3,6,9-trioxaundecamethylene phosphonate) with attach
ed cytotoxic bis(2-chloroethyl)amine in the side chain was synthesized
by chemical modification of the corresponding polyphosphonate via the
Atherton-Todd reaction. The structure of the product was confirmed by
H-1, C-13 and P-31 NMR spectroscopy. Preliminary in vitro cytotoxic s
tudies revealed that the polymeric derivative exhibited an eight fold
more cytotoxic potency against human hepatocellular carcinoma cell lin
e HepG2 than against murine leukemia cell line L1210.
