Conformationally-constrained, anticancer drug delivery systems (TDDS) containing the methyl ester of melphalan (as a model drug) were synthesized using electron-withdrawing or electron-donating functional groups to modulate reductive and bioreductive activation. The electronic nature of substituents in TDDS was found to control reductive and bioreductive activation of TDDS, thus influencing drug delivery from TDDS.
