A murine P388 leukemia line fully resistant to clofarabine was obtained after only two courses of intraperitoneal treatment (three times a day for nine consecutive days). The resistance was stable for at least 13 weeks without treatment. The subline was as sensitive to 5-fluorouracil, methotrexate, cyclophosphamide, cisplatin, melphalan, BCNU, doxorubicin, etoposide, irinotecan, vincristine, and docetaxel as was the parental P388/0 line but was cross-resistant to five antimetabolites [palmO-ara-C, 4'-thio-ara-C, fludarabine phosphate, cladribine, and gemcitabine-all of which require deoxycytidine kinase for activation] and paclitaxel. The subline had less than 1% of the deoxycytidine kinase activity in comparison to P388/0.

Two new benzene-containing polyketides, cryptoic acids A (1) and B (2), along with a new acylated diketopiperazine designated cyclocryptamide (3), were isolated from the culture extract of Cryptosporangium sp. YDKA-T02. The absolute configuration of amino acid components in 3 was determined by Marfey's method.

Two new spirotetronate class compounds designated wychimicins E (1) and F (2) were isolated from the culture extract of an actinomycete Cryptosporangium sp. RD061707. Their structures were determined through extensive NMR analysis in comparison with wychimicin C.

Sporangimicins A-D (1-4), four anomeric pairs of diacyl disaccharides that represent a new metabolite class, were discovered from the culture extract of an actinomycete Pseudosporangium sp. RD061809. Compounds 1-4 caused peak separation in the HPLC chromatogram and partial duplication of the NMR resonances by anomeric interconversion of a maltose core modified at the two sugar 6-positions with an isobutanoyl and a methyl-branched long-chain dienoyl groups.

We studied the expression of Nrf2 transcription factor and antioxidant system proteins in drug-resistant murine leukemia strains P388 in vivo, as well as the redox status of cells under conditions of induced oxidative stress. Immunoblotting and real-time PCR showed that the cyclophosphamide-resistant strain P388 (P388/CP) exhibits Nrf2-mediated drug resistance. Cells of the P388/CP strain are characterized by high expression of Nrf2, which leads to a significant increase in the expression of ARE genes and antioxidant system proteins, as well as to the effective maintenance of redox homeostasis under conditions of induced oxidative stress.
