Abstract: The oleoyl mitomycin C was synthesized by reacting mitomycin C with oleic acid.Its structure was determined by elementary analysis,1H NMR spectra and IR spectra. The liposome of oleoyl mitomycin was prepared by a modified reverse-phase evaporation method.The antitumor assay on mice indicated that this liposome showed 2.2 times more powerful cytotoxicity to human gastric cancer cell line than MMC and very low cytotoxicity to normal human embryonic lung cell line.

Key words: oleoyl mitomycin C, liposome, antitumor activity
