Methylan polysaccharide derivatives were prepared by dialkylaminoalkylation and reductive amination followed by quaternization. Their antitumor activity was investigated and a relationship between structure and activity is suggested. For quaternized DEAE-methylan at only 75 mu g ml(-1), tumor cell proliferation was suppressed by 58-84% in three cell lines tested in the order Colo < Hela < HepG2.
