Combination chemotherapy for multiple myeloma with melphalan, ifosfamide, prednisolone, nitrosourea and vincristine.
Melphalan, ifosfamide, prednisolone, nitrosourea [1-(4-amino-2-methyl-5-pyrimidyl)-3-(2-chloroethyl)-3-nitrosourea hydrochloride, ACNU or 1, 3-bis (2-chloroethyl)-1-nitrosourea, BCNU] and vincristine (MIP-NV) were given in combination to 48 patients with multiple myeloma. The response rate was 57% in previously untreated patients, and 39% in previously treated patients. The median survival time...
متن کاملSensitivity to 1,3-bis(2-chloroethyl)-1-nitrosourea and 1-(2-chloroethyl)-3-(4-methylcyclohexyl)-1-nitrosourea of the EMT6 tumor in vivo as determined by both tumor volume response and in vitro plating assay.
Measurements of the response of the EMT6 mouse tumor to 1,3-bis(2-chloroethyl)-1-nitrosourea (BCNU) and 1-(2-chloroethyl)-3-(4-methylcyclohexyl)-1-nitrosourea by either tumor volume or the in vitro assay of the cell surviving fraction give very different results. For BCNU very little delay in tumor growth is caused by high doses of the drug, whereas the surviving fraction assayed 2 hr after dru...
متن کاملEffects of l,3-Bis(2-chloroethyl)-l-nitrosourea and Related Compounds upon the Synthesis of DNA by Cell-free Systems1
Incubation of crude enzyme preparations from leukemia L1210 ascites cells with l,3-bis(2-chloroethyl)-l-nitrosourea (BCNU) caused decreases in the DNA nucleotidyltransferase activity. l-(2-Chloroethyl)-3-cyclohexyl-l-nitrosourea was as active as BCNU, but l-(2-chloroethyl)-l-nitrosourea and 1methyl-1-nitrosourea were much less active. 2-Chloroethyl isocyanate was about equal to BCNU in activity...
متن کاملThe response of hypoxic B16 melanoma cells to in vivo treatment with chemotherapeutic agents.
Survival curves are presented for the treatment of B16 melanomas with a range of single doses of cyclophosphamide (CY), 1,3-bis(2-chloroethyl)-1-nitrosourea (BCNU), 1-(2-chloroethyl)-3-cyclohexyl-1-nitrosourea (CCNU), or 1-(2-chloroethyl)-3-trans-4-methylcyclohexyl)-1-nitro-sourea (MeCCNU). When these four drugs are assessed in terms of the tumor cell kill at the lethal dose to 10% of the mice,...
متن کاملO6-benzylguanine-mediated enhancement of chemotherapy.
We have previously demonstrated (A. E. Pegg, Cancer Res., 50: 6119-6129, 1990) that O6-benzylguanine (O6-BG) enhances nitrosourea, temozolomide, and cyclophosphamide activity in malignant glioma xenografts growing in athymic nude mice. More recently, we have demonstrated (V. J. Patel et al., Clin. Cancer Res., 6: 4154-4157, 2000; P. Pourquier et al., Cancer Res., 61: 53-58, 2001) that the combi...
