The isomeric mixtures of platinum complexes of diaminocyclohexane (DACH) had been found active on several murine tumors. A recent separation of the oxalato-platinum complex of trans-l-DACH isomer allowed more precise screening studies and permitted the selection of one compound: l-OHP was submitted to our murine tumor screening system. The drug was given: (a) at doses of 1-12 mg/kg i.p. or i.v. on day 1, 5 and 9 compared to identical doses of cis-dichlorodiamine platinum II (CDDP) in L1210 bearing mice and (b) to AkR leukemia, LGC lymphoma, glioma 26, B16 melanoma, MA 16-C mammary carcinoma and Lewis lung carcinoma bearing mice at 2 dosages: 5 mg/kg (minimal effective dose on L1210), and 8 mg/kg (subtoxic dose in L1210). Acute LD10 and LD50 appeared similar to CDDP and l-OHP. l-OHP administered i.p. was more active on L1210 than CDDP. On L1210 grafted intracerebrally and on LGC lymphoma l-OHP increased significantly the lifespan while CDDP was inactive. On AkR leukemia, both drugs were active but l-OHP was less toxic. Both drugs were inactive on murine solid tumors. No renal toxicity was observed with l-OHP as compared to CDDP.

Tyrosine phosphorylation of HSC70 and its interaction with RFC mediates methotrexate resistance in murine L1210 leukemia cells.

We previously identified and characterized a 66-68 kDa membrane-associated, tyrosine phosphorylated protein in murine leukemia L1210 cells as HSC70 which is a methotrexate (MTX)-binding protein. In order to further characterize the functional role of HSC70 in regulating MTX resistance in L1210 cells, we first showed that HSC70 colocalizes and interacts with reduced folate carrier (RFC) in L1210 cells by confocal laser scanning microscopy and Duolink in situ proximity ligation assay. The tyrosine phosphorylation status of HSC70 found in the membrane fraction was different from the parental L1210/0 and cisplatin (CDDP)-MTX cross resistant L1210/DDP cells.

We previously observed an unidentified, tyrosine-phosphorylated, membrane-associated, 66-68-kDa protein which was present in the L1210 murine leukemia cells but not present, at least in the tyrosine-phosphorylated form, in cisplatin-methotrexate (CDDP-MTX) cross-resistant L1210/DDP cells. We purified and characterized this 66-68-kDa protein by affinity chromatography purification using its two identified properties, tyrosine phosphorylation and MTX-binding, and yielded a single band of 66-68 kDa. The purified protein was subjected to trypsin digestion and the isolated peptide fragments were sequenced and yielded two partial peptide sequences: VEIIANDQ and VTNAVVTVPAYFNDSQRQA.

Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a treatment for cancer based on the photosensitization of tumor cells by photosensitive drugs and their subsequent destruction on exposure to light of particular wavelength. The combination of drug uptake in malignant tissues and selective delivery of laser-generated light provides an effective therapy with efficient tumor citotoxicity and minimal normal tissue damage. Since immune response of the host is important in the control of tumor growth and spreading, PDT is able to increase the antitumor immunity.

Brostallicin (PNU-166196), a-bromo-acrylamido tetra-pyrrole derivative, showed high cytotoxic potency and myelotoxicity dramatically reduced compared with other minor groove DNA-binding agents. In the presence of high intracellular glutathione concentrations, which are associated with resistance to chemotherapy, brostallicin performs a DNA minor groove attack leading to alkylation of DNA nucleophilic functions. In preclinical models, the antitumor activity of brostallicin has been tested in ovarian cancer xenografts, L1210 murine leukemia models, renal, colon and prostatic cancer cells and glutathione-S-transferase (GST) transfected human breast carcinoma cells.

The combination of cisplatin (CDDP) and 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) has been reported to show marked therapeutic effects on experimental tumors and human malignancies, such as head and neck cancer. In these clinical studies, CDDP was administered on day 1 and followed by a 5-d continuous infusion of 5-FU. However, it was repeatedly shown that the sequence of 5-FU followed by CDDP is more active and less toxic in tumor-bearing animals.
