Glycosylated analogs of camptothecin

摘要

The present invention relates to chemotherapeutic agents, and more particularly, to novel analogs of camptothecin. The camptothecin analogs display increased solubility through the hydrophilicity of added non-ionic sugar substituents. In accordance with the present invention, a member from the class of novel camptothecin analogs is to be delivered in vivo as a chemotherapeutic agent to fight cancer growth in the body.
