Evaluation of Combinations of Drugs That Inhibit Ehrlich Tumor Cell Ribonucleotide ReducÃ-ase1

چکیده
The nature of the inhibition of Ehrlich tumor cell ribonucleotide reducÃ-ase by combinations of agents directed at the nonheme iron-containing component and the effector-binding com ponent was studied with the use of isobolograms. From these studies, it was determined that the combinations of pyrazoloimidazole (IMPY) and dialdehyde of inosine, IMPY and deoxyguanosine triphosphate (dGTP), IMPY and deoxyadenosine triphosphate (dATP), and IMPY and deoxythymidine triphosphate (dTTP) gave synergistic inhibition of cytidine diphosphate reductase. The combination of dATP and dGTP also gave syn ergistic inhibition. The combinations of hydroxyurea and IMPY, 4-methyl-5-aminoisoquinoline thiosemicarbazone (MAIQ) and IMPY, and dialdehyde of inosine and dialdehyde derivative of 5'-deoxyinosine gave antagonistic inhibition. Other combina tions utilizing MAIQ and dATP, MAIQ and dGTP, MAIQ and dTTP, hydroxyurea and dGTP, and hydroxyurea and dTTP gave inhibition which was additive.

oncogenic RNA viruses. It has also been reported (24) that single-stranded polyribonucleotides at very low concentrations inhibit DNA polymerase of Rauscher leukemia virus. In this report, we present data that show a way in which RNA indirectly affects DNA synthesis. These data show that RNA markedly inhibits ribonucleotide reducÃ-asefrom Ehrlich ascites tumor cells, at concentrations which cou...

متن کاملInhibition of ascites cell growth by combinations of 6-thioguanine and azaserine.
Azaserine has been shown to be a potent in hibitor of de novo purine synthesis in both solid tumors (1, 13) and ascites cells (5, 6, 10). The duration of inhibition has been correlated with increases in the survival time of tumor-bearing hosts (7, 8). During inhibition of de novo purine synthesis by azaserine, the ascites cells maintain the ability to utilize preformed purines and pre sumably s...
متن کاملSpecific inhibitors directed at the individual components of ribonucleotide reductase as an approach to combination chemotherapy.
It had been shown previously that the ribonucleotide reductase from mouse tumor consisted of two nonidentical components (Tris and dye fractions, each prepared from the 20 to 40% (NH/)2SO4 protein fraction containing the ribonucleotide reductase activity by blue dextran-Sepharose chromatography). The individual components either separated or present in the intact enzyme can be specifically and ...
