Experimental Evaluation of Potential Anticancer Agents

چکیده
A study of the degree of reproducibility of the Carcinoma 755 system when employed to obtain therapeutic indices of purine antagonists has been carried out. Some 60 "active" purine analogs have been studied by this system, used in a quantitative manner, and the approximate LD10's, minimum effective doses, therapeutic indices (LD10/T/C 0.10), and maximum degrees of effectiveness (T/C at the LD10) of each of these compounds are recorded. Under the conditions employed, only 6-mercaptopurine ribonucleoside possessed a therapeutic index against Ca-755 which was clearly greater than that of 6-mercaptopurine, whereas several derivatives of 6-mercaptopurine possessed therapeutic indices of the same magnitude of 6-mercaptopurine. When the limited number of purine analogs which have received clinical trial against human leukemias were compared as to "useful clinical activity" and therapeutic index in the Ca-755 system, it appeared that those with higher experimental therapeutic indices were more "useful" against certain human leukemias than were those with very low therapeutic indices in the Ca-755 system.

Cancer is a big global problem and is one of the top and main causes of mortality in developed countries. Many of the current treatments and anticancer therapeutics have problems with severe side effects and on the other hand, the drug resistance is also another obstacle in the cancer chemotherapy. Hence, there is a strong demand for the discovery and development of effective new antineopla...
