<p>The present invention relates to novel 2-aminocarbonyl-1,2-bis(methylsulfonyl)-1-(2-chloroethyl)hyd razines and 2-aminocarbonyl-1,2-bis(methylsulfonyl)-1-methylhydrazines, and their use to treat malignant tumors. The agents are especially useful in the treatment of animal and human cancers. Two preferred agents in this class, especially for use in the treatment of tumors are 1,2-bis(methylsulfonyl)-1-(2-chloroethyl)-2-(2-chloroethyl)a minocarbonylhydrazine and 1,2-bis(methylsulfonyl)-1-(2-chloroethyl)-2-methylaminocarbo nylhydrazine. These agents are characterized by the following: they are incapable of undergoing inactivation by the denitrosation mechanism proposed for the inactivation of the CNUs roethylation or methylation and carbamoylation.</p> |
