The synthesis and tumor cell growth inhibition by doxazolidine carbamate prodrugs are reported. The carbamates were designed for selective hydrolysis by one or more humancarboxylesterases to release doxazolidine (Doxaz), the formaldehyde-oxazolidine of doxorubicin that cross-links DNA to trigger cell death. Simple butyl and pentyl, but not ethyl, carbamate prodrugs inhibited the growth of cancer cells
