7 alpha-, 17 alpha-Diaza-7, 17-dioxo-B, D-dihomo-5-androsten 3 beta-p-N, N-bis (2- chloroethyl)aminophenylacetate, a modified steroidal alkylating agent, is active in the treatment of P388 and L1210 leukemias in vivo. The compound was also tested in vitro against L1210 and P388 leukemias, on DNA, RNA and protein synthesis and showed high inhibition effect. Also increases the frequency of Sister Chromatid Exchanges and reduces the replication index of human lymphocytes.
