Synthesis and biological evaluation of Fotemustine analogues on human melanoma cell lines

Eur J Med Chem. 2003 Mar;38(3):319-24. doi: 10.1016/s0223-5234(03)00014-x.

Abstract

Two new analogues of Fotemustine have been synthesized and tested on two melanoma cell lines. Compounds 4 and 8 proved to be more potent than the reference compound on A375 cell line which express the MGMT enzyme involved in the chemoresistance of tumoral cells.
