Abstract: The susceptibility of 3'-deamino-3'-(3-cyano-4-morpholinyl)doxorubicin to hydrolysis at pH 7, 4, and 2 has been compared with that of the typically stable morpholine analogue. At pH 7, 74% of the cyanomorpholine was unchanged after 24 h at room temperature, but at pH 2 only 10% remained. Products identified were aglycon (8%) and N-(2-hydroxyethyl)doxorubicin (7%). Most of the losses were to unidentified polar products not eluted from HPLC. Authentic hydroxyethyl was synthesized from doxorubicin by reductive alkylation with glycolaldehyde. Antitumor potency was comparable to that of doxorubicin rather than of cyanomorpholine.
