Protection and potentiation of nitrogen mustard cytotoxicity by WR-2721.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The radioprotective agent WR-2721 was examined for its effects on modifying the cytotoxicity of HN2 against normal and tumor cells in the AKR mouse. Quantitation was carried out by the spleen colony assay for both normal hematopoietic stem cells and AKR leukemia cells. Protection from drug toxicity and normal cell cytotoxicity was noted. Potentiation of cytotoxicity to AKR leukemia was found.

Derivatives: Form of the Drug Responsible for Protection Radioprotection of Cells in Culture by WR-2721 and Updated Version
Studies of V79-171 cells were undertaken to determine what extracel lular or intracellular derivative of the drug WR-2721 is associated with radioprotection. The effect of preincubation at 23 ±1°Cwith WR-2721, and with derivatives of WR-2721 produced in medium containing alkaline phosphatase, upon survival of cells following subsequent -y-irradiation was examined. It was established that WR-2...

S-2-(3-Aminopropylamino)ethylphosphorothioic acid (WR-2721) was investigated for its protective effect against radiation-produced damage of jejunum, testis, lung, hair follicles, and a fibrosarcoma of C3Hf/Kam mice. Most of these tissues were radioprotected, and the degree of radioprotection depended on the dose of WR-2721 and the time interval between administration of WR-2721 and radiation tr...

S-2-(3-Aminopropylamino)ethylphosphorothioic acid (WR-2721) was shown to provide marked protection against development of radiation-induced leg contractures in C3Hf/Kam mice whose legs were exposed to single doses of gamma-radiation. The radiation doses ranged from 3300 to 6200 rads delivered to the right hind thighs from two parallelly opposed 137Cs sources. WR-2721 was given i.p. 30 min befor...
متن کاملEffect of hyperbaric oxygen on the cytotoxicity of adriamycin and nitrogen mustard in cultured Burkitt's lymphoma cells.
The effects of hyperbaric oxygen (HPO) exposure on the cytotoxicity of Adriamycin (ADM) and nitrogen mustard have been examined in Burkitt's lymphoma cells (P3J) in vitro. Exposure of cells to 3 atmospheres of pressure HPO for 2 hr produces inhibition of DNA synthesis and mitosis. Simultaneous exposure to HPO and ADM results in decreased cytotoxicity compared to drug treatment alone. However, e...
متن کاملProtection by S-2-(3-aminopropylamino)ethylphosphorothioic acid against radiation- and cyclophosphamide-induced attenuation in antitumor resistance.
Studies were performed to investigate whether S-2-(3-amino-propylamino)ethylphosphorothioic acid (WR-2721) can protect antitumor immune rejection responses against the damaging effects of whole-body irradiation ( WBI ) and cyclophosphamide (CY). Among these damaging effects were radiation-induced enhancement of s.c. tumor take and radiation- and CY-induced enhancement of lung colonization by tu...
