A simple method of determining the concentration of alkylating compounds in a culture medium with a high level of reproducibility is described. Thiophosphamide was shown not to decompose during 24 h either in the culture mixture or in a culture of human lymphocytes. Phosphemid, dipin, and fotrin underwent appreciable decomposition in culture in the course of 24 h, but these substances likewise were not decomposed during the first 6 h.
