Benzamide (BA) enhances the cytotoxicity of 1,2:5,6-dianhydrogalactitol (DAG) in resistant P388 leukemia cell lines but not in the sensitive parent line. To examine the reason for this difference in response, we carried out an alkaline elution assay using proteinase K to study DNA interstrand
Because of the limited availability of human tissues, leukemia cell lines are often utilized as the models for human leukocytes. In this study, we investigated the NADPH-dependent reductases and polyol pathway in commonly utilized human leukemia cell lines. The relative amounts of aldose and
Sugar alcohols, such as mannitol, sorbitol, galactitol, and inositol, selectively reduced the acute lethal toxicity of 1-(2-chloroethyl)-3-(methyl alpha-D-glucopyranos-6-yl)-1-nitrosourea (MCNU) without reducing its antitumor activity. Fifty mg MCNU/kg killed all CD2F1 mice within about 10 days,
