Overadditive synergism between the intercalators mitoxantrone and lucanthone in advanced L 12010 and P 388 leukemia. 1986

H Osswald, and M Youssef

The combination of mitoxantrone with lucanthone, a schistosomicidal and nonmyelotoxic agent, yielded a therapeutic synergism in L 1210 and P 388 leukemia with no increase in toxicity. In that combination the nonmyelotoxic lucanthone enabled the use of the optimal dose of mitoxantrone. The recent hypothesis that planar polycyclic aromatic compounds, mostly comprised by the term intercalators, intercalate with DNA or bind to DNA may need receiving with respect to membrane target sites.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D007364	Intercalating Agents	Agents that are capable of inserting themselves between the successive bases in DNA, thus kinking, uncoiling or otherwise deforming it and therefore preventing its proper functioning. They are used in the study of DNA.
