Article Title: | BO-0742, a derivative of AHMA and N-mustard, has selective toxicity to drug sensitive and drug resistant leukemia cells and solid tumors |
Abstract: | This is a preclinical study of BO-0742, a derivative of 3-(9-acridinylamino)-5-hydroxymethyl-aniline (AHMA) and N-mustard, as an anti-cancer agent. MTS assays revealed a broad spectrum of anti-cancer activities in vitro, with the greatest cytotoxicity against leukemia and neuroblastoma including those with drug resistant characteristics, and a good therapeutic index with leukemia being 10-40 times more sensitive to BO-0742 than hematopoietic progenitors. Administration of BO-0742 at an optimal dose schedule based on its pharmacokinetics significantly suppressed the growth of xenografts of human breast and ovarian cancers in mice. Thus, BO-0742 is a potent anti-cancer agent worthy of further clinical development. © 2008 Elsevier Ireland Ltd. All rights reserved. |
