Putting the heat on : Drugs that are essentially inactive at 37 °C and are active under mild hyperthermia can be synthesized by modification of chlorambucil with thermoresponsive groups (see picture; C gray, Cl green, F yellow, H white, N blue, O red). This modification should allow this cytotoxic agent to be used in a more targeted fashion, and consequently, with reduced side‐effects.
