Proliferating cultured P388 cells exhibited a greater degree of sensitivity to adriamycin than did proliferating cultured L1210 cells, although both leukemia cell populations had approximately the same doubling time. The rate of reduction in viability when cultured L1210 cell populations were exposed to adriamycin (0.0625-2.0 microgram/ml, concentrations that are comparable to tissue drug levels during therapy) was concentration-dependent. Therefore, the results indicated a possible therapeutic advantage to be gained by an increase in drug concentrations (within the limits of acceptable host toxicity) at the target cell site.

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.

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.

Article Synopsis
- Glucocorticoids (GCs) are commonly used to treat blood cancers but can cause various side effects due to how they interact with glucocorticoid receptors (GRs).
- Selective GR agonists (SEGRAs) like CpdA aim to enhance the beneficial anticancer effects while minimizing side effects; however, CpdA faces challenges with chemical instability.
- The newly developed derivative, CpdA-03, shows improved stability and GR affinity, demonstrating significant anticancer activity in lymphoma models, with a tripling reduction in tumor volume compared to conventional treatments.
Nrf2-Regulated Antioxidant System in Cells of In Vivo Drug-Resistant P388 Murine Leukemia Strains.

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.
