PTT 119, a new antineoplastic agent, was demonstrated to have antileukemic activity on murine and human cell lines. In this study we assessed the effect of this drug, at concentrations ranging from 100 ng/ml to 10 micrograms/ml, on fresh human leukemic cells from 12 patients affected by ANLL, evaluating the impairment of DNA synthesis in terms of [3H]-thymidine uptake inhibition. Most leukemic cell populations appeared to be responsive to the drug in a dose-related fashion. By cluster analysis, it was possible to discriminate subsets of samples according to PTT 119 sensitivity, and to investigate cross resistance with cytosine arabinoside and daunorubicin. This preclinical study indicates that PTT 119 may deserve applications in the treatment of acute nonlymphoblastic leukemia patients.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D009588 Nitrogen Mustard Compounds A group of alkylating agents derived from mustard gas, with the sulfur replaced by nitrogen. They were formerly used as toxicants and vesicants, but now function as antineoplastic agents. These compounds are also powerful mutagens, teratogens, immunosuppressants, and carcinogens. Compounds, Nitrogen Mustard,Mustard Compounds, Nitrogen
D003561 Cytarabine A pyrimidine nucleoside analog that is used mainly in the treatment of leukemia, especially acute non-lymphoblastic leukemia. Cytarabine is an antimetabolite antineoplastic agent that inhibits the synthesis of DNA. Its actions are specific for the S phase of the cell cycle. It also has antiviral and immunosuppressant properties.

D004351 Drug Resistance Diminished or failed response of an organism, disease or tissue to the intended effectiveness of a chemical or drug. It should be differentiated from DRUG TOLERANCE which is the progressive diminution of the susceptibility of a human or animal to the effects of a drug, as a result of continued administration.
