The present invention discloses new and novel substituted anthracyclines with modified alkyl-aromatic ring substitutions on the C-3' of the sugar moiety or modified or unmodified alkyl-aromatic ring substitutions at the C-4&#x2032; of the sugar moiety. It also discloses novel methods for the preparation of sugar substrates and methods for the preparation of anthracycline antibiotics. These anthracycline analogs show high cytotoxicity in vitro against several tumor cell lines.

The present invention discloses new and novel halogenated anthracyclines linked through the saccharide portions. These congeners show high activity in vitro against several tumor cell lines. In doxorubicin (DOX) sensitive cell lines, they are at least as cytotoxic as DOX and in some cases more so. Many of these 4&prime;- and 6&prime;-fluorinated anthracyclines are more effective against multidrug-resistant tumors than was DOX, and/or have greater effectiveness than DOX against DOX sensitive cells. The compounds of this invention also have anti-amyloidogenic effects and the use of these compounds in the treatment of Alzheimer's disease is contemplated.
