Different chemotherapy drugs are generally introduced in clinical practices combining with therapy for glioma treatment. However, these chemotherapy drugs have rarely been compared with each other and the optimum drug still remains to be proved. In this research, medical databases were consulted, PubMed, Embase and Cochrane Library included.

Reversal of multidrug resistance by novel nitrophenyl pyrones, SNF4435C and D.

Jpn J Cancer Res

November 2001

Research Institute of Life Science, Snow Brand Milk Products Co., Ltd., Ishibashi-machi, Shimotsuga-gun, Tochigi 329-0512.

SNF4435C and D, novel immunosuppressants produced by a strain of Streptomyces spectabilis, were examined for their reversing effects in vitro on various multidrug-resistant (MDR) tumor cells overexpressing P-glycoprotein. These two compounds in the range of 3-10 microM completely reversed the resistance of MDR variant cells, mouse leukemia P388 cells [vincristine (VCR)-resistant P388/VCR and adriamycin (ADM)-resistant P388/ADM], human myelogenous leukemia K562 cells (VCR-resistant K562/VCR and ADM-resistant K562/ADM) and human ovarian cancer A2780 cells (ADM-resistant AD(10)), against VCR. Both compounds moderately potentiated the sensitivity of the MDR cells to ADM but the reversal was not complete.

[Pharmacokinetic study of dibromodulcitol in children with brain tumors].

Orv Hetil

November 1994

Semmelweis Orvostudományi Egyetem, II, Budapest, sz. Gyermekklinika.

Systemic pharmacokinetics of high-dose (500 mg/m2), orally administered dibromodulcitol (Elobromol) were studied in 16 chemotherapeutic courses administered to 5 patients. Cerebrospinal fluid dibromodulcitol levels were also analysed in two patients. Bromoepoxydulcitol, dianhydrodulcitol are cytotoxic, whereas bromoanhydrodulcitol, andhydroepoxydulcitol are inactive metabolites detectable during the biotransformation of dibromodulcitol.

Systemic pharmacokinetics of high dose (500 mg/m2), orally administered Elobromol (dibromodulcitol, DBD) were studied in 16 chemotherapeutic courses administered to five patients. Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) DBD levels were also analyzed in two patients. Bromoepoxydulcitol (BED), dianhydrodulcitol (DAD) are cytotoxic, whereas bromoanhydrodulcitol (BAD) and anhydroepoxydulcitol (AED) are inactive metabolites detectable during the biotransformation of DBD.
