The effects of the chiral isomers of erythro- and threo-9-(2-hydroxy-3-nonyl)adenines (EHNA and THNA) on purine metabolism in Sarcoma 180 cells have been determined. At concentrations of 10-80 microM [10- to 1000-fold greater than their Ki values with adenosine deaminase (ADA)], all isomers
The drug, 9-beta-D-arabinofuranosyl adenine, selectively inhibits the synthesis of nuclear DNA without affecting extrachromosomal DNA synthesis in rat cells transformed by Rous sarcoma virus (B-mix K-44/6). The inhibition was linear with respect to drug concentration over the range of 37-600 muM.
The reduction in DNA, RNA, amino acid, and total protein in muscle tissue of tumor-bearing rats may influence muscle function. The effects of MCA-sarcoma tumor burden on muscle performance and adenine nucleotides was evaluated in three fiber types of skeletal muscle. Twenty-one days after
From a side-by-side comparative study, the acyclic nucleoside phosphonates (R)-9-(2-phosphonylmethoxypropyl)adenine [(R)-PMPA] and 9-(2-methylidene-3-phosphonomethoxypropyl)guanine (MDL 74,968) proved more selective in their inhibitory effect on human immunodeficiency virus types 1 and 2, feline
It has been documented that the activity of a specific promoter can be occluded by the presence of another promoter element upstream. We present evidence for a phenomenon contradictory to that predicted by the promoter occlusion theory. Transcription from the hamster aprt (adenine
9-(2-Phosphonylmethoxyethyl)adenine (PMEA), a potent inhibitor of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), caused a dose-dependent suppression of tumor formation, and mortality associated therewith, in 6-day-old NMRI mice inoculated intracerebrally with Moloney murine sarcoma virus (MSV). Even at a dose
The cytostatic potency of PMEA was evaluated on five rat and mouse experimental tumors. The compound significantly inhibits three spontaneously arisen (LW13K2, A870N and LLC) tumors. Two chemically induced tumors (FBN, HEP-LEW) were not influenced by PMEA.
Adenosine phosphorylase (EC 2.4.2.-) activity present in Sarcoma 180 cells grown in culture and in rat liver, is shown to be distinct from inosine-guanosine phosphorylase by several criteria: (a) treatment of Sarcoma 180 cell extract with p-chloromercuribenzoate inhibited the two activities to a
Sarcoma cells growing in tissue culture have morphological and growth characteristics different than normal fibroblasts. Several of the morphological characteristics of normal fibroblasts are regained when the cells are incubated with dibutyryl-cyclic AMP or butyryl-cyclic AMP (0.1-1 mM), or cyclic
Disturbances in the functional properties of tumor mitochondria have been studied during the course of induction of haemorrhage brought about by endotoxin in the murine Crocker sarcoma (S 180). Extensive impairment of function was already present in mitochondria isolated from control tumors, as
The acyclic purine nucleoside analogue 9-(2-phosphonomethoxyethyl)adenine [PMEA; formerly referred to as 9-(2-phosphonylmethoxyethyl)adenine] is a potent and selective inhibitor of human immunodeficiency virus replication in vitro and of Moloney murine sarcoma virus-induced tumor formation in mice.
