“…30,71,73,92,93 Similar molecular strategies have been employed to synthesize covalent anthracycline immunochemotherapeutics through the formation of a covalent bond with the a-monoamine (C 3 -amine) group on the carbohydrate moiety of doxorubicin, daunorubicin, or epirubicin. 10,15,17,[20][21][22][23][24][25]27,28,32,19 Generation of a covalent bond at the C 5 -methylhydroxy group of gemcitabine represents a second alternative molecular strategy for synthesizing covalent gemcitabineligand conjugates. 61,[68][69][70][71][72][73] Gemcitabine has been covalently bound to a number of biologically relevant ligands.…”
