“…This activity, however, was not ob served in most clinical studies [3,18]. Moreover, their use is limited by their hematologic toxicity which be comes cumulative with repeated doses [3], To overcome the disadvantages of clinically used CNUs of the first generation [HECNU]); these drugs show some anti neoplastic activity against brain tumors, lymphomas, small cell lung cancer, melanoma and neoplasms of the gastrointestinal tract [3,8,9,15,20]. Further development is directed towards increased specificity and decreased systemic toxicity by linking the active nitrosoureido-group to suited carriers, such as hor mones or peptides [2,21], A further disadvantage of presently used CNUs is the possible induction of second malignancies, which was first described in animals [11,12,23] and later in man, too [10][11][12]17].…”
