Effects of five amiloride analogues on thermal cell killing were examined using Chinese hamster V-79 cells. When cells were exposed to 42 degrees C hyperthermia in the presence of 0.2 mM amiloride or its analogue, cell survival decreased with increasing exposure time, as compared with that for exposure to 42 degrees C alone. The degree of the thermosensitizing effect varied among the test compounds, and three analogues were found to be more potent than amiloride. The results suggest that some of the amiloride analogues may be useful as hyperthermic sensitizers in the clinical treatment of cancer.

D006979 Hyperthermia, Induced Abnormally high temperature intentionally induced in living things regionally or whole body. It is most often induced by radiation (heat waves, infra-red), ultrasound, or drugs.

D002460 Cell Line Established cell cultures that have the potential to propagate indefinitely. Cell Lines,Line, Cell,Lines, Cell
D002470 Cell Survival The span of viability of a cell characterized by the capacity to perform certain functions such as metabolism, growth, reproduction, some form of responsiveness, and adaptability. Cell Viability,Cell Viabilities,Survival, Cell,Viabilities, Cell,Viability, Cell
D000584 Amiloride A pyrazine compound inhibiting SODIUM reabsorption through SODIUM CHANNELS in renal EPITHELIAL CELLS. This inhibition creates a negative potential in the luminal membranes of principal cells, located in the distal convoluted tubule and collecting duct. Negative potential reduces secretion of potassium and hydrogen ions. Amiloride is used in conjunction with DIURETICS to spare POTASSIUM loss.

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.
