Article Title: On the relationship of ATP depletion to chemotherapeutically-induced tumor regression
Abstract: A positive correlation was found between increasing ATP depletion and enhanced tumor-regressing activity by combining PMA, a three drug combination (PALA, MMPR + 6-AN), with FUra, or Adria, or FUra + Adria. For example, at 48 h post treatment, ATP was 68% of saline controls with a 10% tumor regression rate (PMA); ATP was 55% with a 60% regression rate (PMA + FUra); ATP was 54% with an 80% regression rate (PMA + Adria); and ATP was 30% with a 100% regression rate (PMA + FUra + Adria). The results give support to the suggestion that ATP depletion may be a significant factor in the production of chemotherapeutically-induced apoptosis.
