Abstract

6-O-Acylated L-ascorbic acids possessing a straight- or branched-acyl chain of varying length from C4 to C18 have been synthesized and evaluated their anti-tumor promoting effects on the activation of the Epstein-Barr virus early antigen. The derivatives having a straight- or branched-acyl chain of C6 to C11 carbon atoms exhibited marked effects.
