1. A process for preparing a compound of formula (1) comprising the step of:
(a) coupling a compound of formula (i) with a drug of formula D or a protected derivative thereof of formula D-(P3)n in the presence of a coupling reagent to afford an intermediate of formula (ii), wherein D is cytarabine or a residue thereof, and wherein the cytarabine is attached to the C═O group via its amine group; and
(b) removing the protecting groups P1, P2 and removing P3 if present, with a strong acid (Y) or with a deprotecting agent followed by a strong acid (Y) so as to generate a salt represented by the formula (1):
