Studies were undertaken to evaluate the influence of Ukrain on clinical and laboratory parameters in ten patients with breast cancer treated with the drug in the preoperative phase. The control group was composed of eight patients of similar age and advancement of the disease who did not receive Ukrain before mastectomy.

A study was made of modulations of lysosome-phagosome fusion process and of fibrillar actin content in mouse peritoneal macrophages by an antitumor alkaloid sanguinarine and a derivative drug Ukrain. In addition, effects of these substances on in vitro polymerization of monomeric globular actin from rabbit muscle were investigated. Sanguinarine and Ukrain stimulated lysosome-phagosome fusion and increased the content of polymerized fibrillar form of actin in mouse macrophages.
