Of the three degradation products of nitrogen mustard (mechlorethamine. HN2) only N-methyl-2-chloroethyl-2-hydroxyethylamine was antimitotically active and cross-reactive to HN2 in tests for delayed hypersensitivity. The other two degradation products. N, N'-dimethyl-N, N'bis(2-chloroethyl) piperazinium and N-methyldiethanolamine, were neither antimitotically active nor antigenically cross-reactive to HN2. Thirteen of 17 HN2 homologies tested were found to be antimitotically active, but only of them were cross-reactive to HN2 in regard to delayed hypersensitivity. From structure-function analysis it is concluded that with open-chain derivatives cross-reactivity to HN2 requires only a 2-chloroethylamino group as one determinant unit; a substituent with 2 carbon atoms such as ethyl, ethanol, and ethoxy at the nitrogen atom determined a specificity for cross-reactivity to HN2. With cyclic derivatives, however, the ring size determines specificity: 6-and 7, but not 5-membered ring compounds were cross-reactive to HN2. These results are potentially applicable to the therapy of cutaneous disease
