Bleomycin-reactive iron in patients with acute non-lymphocytic leukemia.

Abstract:

:Bleomycin-reactive iron was detected in the sera of six out of nine adults undergoing intensive chemotherapy for acute non-lymphocytic leukemia. In these individuals the corresponding transferrin saturation ranged from 96% to 113% and the serum ferritin from 775 to 9975 micrograms/l. Nontransferrin-bound iron has been postulated to be a factor in organ toxicity in iron overload conditions such as beta thalassemia and hereditary hemochromatosis by facilitating the production of tissue-damaging free radicals. We propose that bleomycin-reactive iron should be considered as a possible factor in organ dysfunction seen with intensive cancer chemotherapy.

  • Zwitterionic amphiphiles that raise the bilayer to hexagonal phase transition temperature inhibit protein kinase C. The exception that proves the rule.

This substance activated protein kinase C (PKC) in a micelle-based assay, but in a vesicle assay it was inhibitory. An analog of this compound, in which the pyridine ring is saturated and the nitrogen methylated, showed similar behaviour ...
