Because of its severe side effects, initial clinical trials of the antineoplastic compound mitoguazone (Methyl-GAG, M-G) were ceased in the middle of 1960s. One decade later pharmacokinetically guided dose schedules as well as new experimental data on the antiproliferative mechanism of action stimulated new clinical studies. First results indicated that M-G had single-agent activity against various tumors such as acute leukemia and malignant lymphoma connected with acceptable tolerance. M-G seems to be effective especially in combination with other antineoplastic drugs. Its final evaluation may be reserved to further randomized trials. Recently, the psoriasis vulgaris is expected to be an additional field of the application of M-G. In this minireview data on synthesis, preclinical pharmacology, pharmacokinetics, biochemical effects and toxicology of M-G are given. Furthermore, clinical findings on M-G concerning its pharmacokinetic behaviour, antitumor and antipsoriatic activities are described.

D011565 Psoriasis A common genetically determined, chronic, inflammatory skin disease characterized by rounded erythematous, dry, scaling patches. The lesions have a predilection for nails, scalp, genitalia, extensor surfaces, and the lumbosacral region. Accelerated epidermopoiesis is considered to be the fundamental pathologic feature in psoriasis.
