N-(Phosphonacetyl)-L-aspartate (PALA): current status. 1980

M Rozencweig, and R Abele, and M Piccart, and D D Von Hoff, and F M Muggia

N-(Phosphonoacetyl)-L-aspartate (PALA) is a synthetic antimetabolite exhibiting striking oncolytic properties against a wide variety of experimental solid tumors. The clinical dose-limiting factor is mucocutaneous toxicity which is reversible and dose-related. Delineation of the single-agent activity of PALA in human cancer must still await results of recently activated trials.
