The present invention provides a surface acoustic wave sensor capable of suitably controlling the flow of a liquid sample onto IDT electrodes. A surface acoustic wave sensor 1 has a piezoelectric substrate, a first IDT electrode and a second IDT electrode which are located on the upper surface of the piezoelectric substrate and are separated from each other while sandwiching a detection part (detection region) on the piezoelectric substrate there between, and the cover which forms the space being on the first IDT electrode, second IDT electrode, and detection part and straddling them. On the lower surface of the cover, the detection part-facing surface (lower surface of the film) facing the detection part has a smaller contact angle to the liquid sample than that of a pair of electrode-facing surfaces (lower surface of the cover body) facing the first IDT electrode and second IDT electrode.

Provided herein are compounds of formula (I)-(VI), wherein the variables are defined herein, processes of making them, and methods of treating cancer comprising administering such compounds.

Provided herein are compounds of formula I: wherein the variables are defined herein, processes of making them, and methods of treating cancer comprising administering such compounds.

The present application relates to a new method for synthesizing isophosphoramide nitrogen mustard (X-IPM) that is suitable for industrialized production, involves fewer types of solvents, and leads to stable products with high yield. This method is charazterized mainly by the batchwise addition of M (e.g., M is R.sub.3N with R being ethyl; i.e., M is triethylamine) and the specific post-reaction treatment, which make it possible for the reaction to fully proceed, lead to products with less impurities, high yield and relatively stable properties, and can lead to stable crystallized substances with specific crystal structures. The present application also relates to stable crystal forms of the isophosphoramide nitrogen mustard (X-IPM) prepared by the aforementioned method, and use of the same as reactants for the synthesis of aziridine structure-containing compounds.
