We have synthesized new 10-hydroxycamptothecin (HCPT) analogs and evaluated their Anticancer activity in Cell Culture and in experimental animal tumor model. Although the new analogs were less potent against L1210 leukemia cells in vitro, some of them were more efficacious against L1210 leukemia in vivo compared to the parent HCPT.
