[Selective, time dependent accumulation of the triphenylmethane dyes bromphenol blue, bromoresol green and iodophenol blue in mouse tumors].

1. A selective late dye concentration dependent on the time is described for 3 triphenylmethane dyes namely bromphenol blue, bromcresol green and iodophenol blue after intravenous application in high dosage in malignant inoculated tumors and experimental tumor metastases in the mouse. 2. The possible mechanisms of this dye concentration phenomenon in the tumor tissue as well as some chances of the eventual therapeutic and tumor diagnostic utilization were discussed.

The effect of amino acids and amino acid derivatives on cell proliferation.

The effect of certain amino acids and amino acid derivatives on cell proliferation have been studied in the author's Institute for more than 25 years. The optically active forms of arginine, lysine, aspartic acid and glutamic acid influence the growth of transplantable rat tumors. L-arginine, D-lysine, L-aspartic acid and D-glutamic acid promoted; D-aspartic acid, L-glutamic acid, D-arginine and L-lysine inhibited tumour growth. E-amino trimethyl-lysine (TML) stimulated cell proliferation in various cell systems (bone marrow, small intestine, cultured lymphocytes). When administered simultaneously with high doses of Cyclophosphamide, Vincristin or Doxorubicin to tumour-bearing mice, TML decreased the toxicity of the antitumour drugs, resulting in a higher rate of survivors. L-leucine methyl ester caused cell death of mouse peritoneal macrophages by inducing disruption of macrophages.

Flat revertant inducers, styryl diphenylamine derivatives, inhibit growth and metastasis of murine tumor cells in vivo.

Previously, we reported that a novel styryl diphenylamine derivative, RX-465, reverts the transformed phenotype of human fibrosarcoma HT1080 cells in vitro. To determine whether agents inducing such phenotypic reversion show antitumor and/or antimetastatic effects in vivo, we assessed tumor growth and metastasis in mice inoculated with either murine B16-, B16BL6 melanoma or M5076 reticulosarcoma. These mice received orally our new derivatives of RX-465, namely RX-512 and RX-549. We found that these-derivatives inhibited B16 melanoma and M5076 reticulosarcoma growth by greater than 80% in vivo. RX-512 also inhibited the metastatic dissemination of B16BL6 melanoma into the lung and that of M5076 reticulosarcoma into the liver by 98% and 100% at doses of 60 and 40 mg/kg/day, respectively. These treatments did not cause significant decreases in body weight. Our data strongly demonstrate that styryl diphenylamine derivatives that revert transformed phenotype in vitro potentially inhibit tumor growth and metastasis in mice with negligible toxicity at effective doses.

Tumor oxygenation after mild-temperature hyperthermia in combination with carbogen breathing: dependence on heat dose and tumor type.

We investigated the effect of hyperthermia at 40.5-42.5 degrees C as well as the combination of hyperthermia and carbogen breathing on oxygenation in the SCK murine mammary carcinoma. In addition, the important question of how long the effect of heating on tumor oxygenation lasts was addressed in both SCK and FSaII (murine fibrosarcoma) tumors. The median pO2 in control SCK tumors was 4.4 +/- 0.2 mm Hg, and it increased to a maximum of 12.6 +/- 1.2 mm Hg when the tumors were heated at 41.5 degrees C for 1 h. Carbogen breathing increased the median pO2 of SCK tumors to 17.1 +/- 1.4 mm Hg, but after heating at 41.5 degrees C, it elevated the pO2 in SCK tumors markedly to 31.3 +/- 4.2 mm Hg. The kinetics of the return to baseline oxygenation after hyperthermia was found to vary with the type of tumor and the heat dose. The pO2 of FSaII tumors remained significantly higher than that of control tumors 24 h after heating at 41.5 degrees C for 60 min. The pO2 of SCK tumors remained elevated for up to 3 h after heating at 41.5 degrees C for 30 min, but if the tumors were heated for 60 min at this temperature, the median oxygen tension declined to the control level within 1 h after heating. It was concluded that mild-temperature hyperthermia, i.e. 41.5 degrees C, alone and in combination with carbogen breathing dramatically improves the oxygenation of these murine tumors and that the tumor type influences the duration of changes in oxygenation induced by mild-temperature hyperthermia.
