H. Dulude et al., CHEMICAL-STABILITY OF NEW UREA AND NITROSOUREA DERIVATIVES OF DIAMINOACIDS, Bioorganic & medicinal chemistry letters, 4(22), 1994, pp. 2697-2700
Stability in neutral aqueous solutions of a series of nitrosourea deri
vatives of diamino acids was determined. Structure-activity relationsh
ips show that N-3-bisubstitution increased the stability of these comp
ounds. Moreover, in N-3-monosubstituted and N-3-bisubstituted compound
s, stability is : N-1-Methyl > N-1-Allyl > N-1-3-Chloroethyl > N-1-Pro
pargyl.
