[Quantitative analysis on in vitro drug sensitivity of cultured human ovarian cancer cell lines (author's transl)]. 1982

T Motoyama

Two cell lines, Kuramochi and CKS, established from human ovarian cancer, were analyzed in vitro drug sensitivity to Mitomycin C and Carboquone. These values were compared to those of eight human gastric cancer cell lines composed of various histological types. The CKS cell line, derived from serious cystadenocarcinoma, was less sensitive to both test-drugs than the groups of gastric cancer cell lines. Therapeutic indices of the two drugs were very low. So it was considered that the two drugs were unsuitable to chemotherapy to serous cystadenocarcinoma. The Kuramochi cell line, derived from undifferentiated carcinoma, was less sensitive to Mitomycin C than the groups of gastric cancer cell line. However, it was as sensitive to Carboquone as high-sensitive gastric cancer cell lines. Therapeutic index of the Carboquone in the undifferentiated carcinoma was high. So it was considered that Carboquone was suitable to chemotherapy to undifferentiated adenocarcinoma. The cytocydal actions of the two drugs were dependent upon dose and time. Time-dependency was, however, smaller in Carboquone than in Mitomycin C.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008937 Mitomycins A group of methylazirinopyrroloindolediones obtained from certain Streptomyces strains. They are very toxic antibiotics used as ANTINEOPLASTIC AGENTS in some solid tumors. PORFIROMYCIN and MITOMYCIN are the most useful members of the group.
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.

D002225 Carbazilquinone An alkylating agent structurally similar to MITOMYCIN and found to be effective in the treatment of leukemia and various other neoplasms in mice. It causes leukemia and thrombocytopenia in almost all human patients. Carboquinone,Carboquone,Esquinon
D002277 Carcinoma A malignant neoplasm made up of epithelial cells tending to infiltrate the surrounding tissues and give rise to metastases. It is a histological type of neoplasm and not a synonym for "cancer."

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
D003536 Cystadenocarcinoma A malignant neoplasm derived from glandular epithelium, in which cystic accumulations of retained secretions are formed. The neoplastic cells manifest varying degrees of anaplasia and invasiveness, and local extension and metastases occur. Cystadenocarcinomas develop frequently in the ovaries, where pseudomucinous and serous types are recognized. (Stedman, 25th ed) Cystadenocarcinomas
