While the treatment of ovarian cancer has made remarkable progress in recent years, the chemotherapy of ovarian germ cell tumor has not as yet been fully established and remains to be improved. We investigated the effectiveness of a single-agent therapy with Vincristine (VCR), Actinomycin D (ACD), and Cyclophosphamide (CPM) against a human undifferentiated dysgerminoma's cell line (JOHYL-1) with the following results. The ratio of the number of viable cells to the total cell population treated for JOHYL-1 cells of ascitic type was 70% with VCR, 58% with CPM and 25% with ACD; hence the efficacy on this malignant cell line was the greatest with ACD followed by VCR and CPM in that descending order. Notably with CPM, a striking antitumor effect was observed from 48 to 24 hours after treatment. The L.I. attained a peak at 24, 18 and 30 hours, respectively, after treatment with VCR, ACD and CPM. The M.I. was as high as a little more than 6% at 36 hours after treatment with VCR. There also was noted a shift in the cell cycle with any of the test drugs. Morphological changes observed in the cell were most obvious with ACD followed in order by VCR and CPM. LDH & isozyme pattern: In these respects there were no striking differences among the three drugs, even though the total enzyme activity was somewhat higher with VCR.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

D010051 Ovarian Neoplasms Tumors or cancer of the OVARY. These neoplasms can be benign or malignant. They are classified according to the tissue of origin, such as the surface EPITHELIUM, the stromal endocrine cells, and the totipotent GERM CELLS.

D003520 Cyclophosphamide Precursor of an alkylating nitrogen mustard antineoplastic and immunosuppressive agent that must be activated in the LIVER to form the active aldophosphamide. It has been used in the treatment of LYMPHOMA and LEUKEMIA. Its side effect, ALOPECIA, has been used for defleecing sheep. Cyclophosphamide may also cause sterility, birth defects, mutations, and cancer.

D003609 Dactinomycin A compound composed of a two CYCLIC PEPTIDES attached to a phenoxazine that is derived from STREPTOMYCES parvullus. It binds to DNA and inhibits RNA synthesis (transcription), with chain elongation more sensitive than initiation, termination, or release. As a result of impaired mRNA production, protein synthesis also declines after dactinomycin therapy.

D004407 Dysgerminoma A malignant ovarian neoplasm, thought to be derived from primordial germ cells of the sexually undifferentiated embryonic gonad. It is the counterpart of the classical seminoma of the testis, to which it is both grossly and histologically identical. Dysgerminomas comprise 16% of all germ cell tumors but are rare before the age of 10, although nearly 50% occur before the age of 20. They are generally considered of low-grade malignancy but may spread if the tumor extends through its capsule and involves lymph nodes or blood vessels.

D006801 Humans Members of the species Homo sapiens. Homo sapiens,Man (Taxonomy),Human,Man, Modern,Modern Man
D000328 Adult A person having attained full growth or maturity. Adults are of 19 through 44 years of age. For a person between 19 and 24 years of age, YOUNG ADULT is available. Adults
