Antitumor activity of a new antibiotic, kazusamycin. 1985

K Komiyama, and K Okada, and Y Hirokawa, and K Masuda, and S Tomisaka, and I Umezawa

The antitumor activity of a new antibiotic, kazusamycin, against various murine tumors was studied by various treatment schedules. Single, intermittent, and successive injections of the antibiotic were almost equally effective against Ehrlich carcinoma, IMC carcinoma and sarcoma 180 tumor, but successive injections showed more efficacy than the other schedules against Meth A fibrosarcoma and Lewis lung carcinoma. Interestingly, there was no clear dose response for the efficacy of kazusamycin on murine tumors. When HeLa cells were exposed to kazusamycin for 72 hours in vitro, the IC50 value was about 1 ng/ml, however the cytotoxicity of the antibiotic depended on the incubation time.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008545 Melanoma A malignant neoplasm derived from cells that are capable of forming melanin, which may occur in the skin of any part of the body, in the eye, or, rarely, in the mucous membranes of the genitalia, anus, oral cavity, or other sites. It occurs mostly in adults and may originate de novo or from a pigmented nevus or malignant lentigo. Melanomas frequently metastasize widely, and the regional lymph nodes, liver, lungs, and brain are likely to be involved. The incidence of malignant skin melanomas is rising rapidly in all parts of the world.

D008810 Mice, Inbred C57BL One of the first INBRED MOUSE STRAINS to be sequenced. This strain is commonly used as genetic background for transgenic mouse models. Refractory to many tumors, this strain is also preferred model for studying role of genetic variations in development of diseases.
