Therapeutic evaluation of five nitrosoureas in a human melanoma xenograft system.

Abstract:

:The development of nitrosoureas has switched from more lipophilic derivatives to congeners with higher water-solubility, since this property was presumably associated with a decrease in myelosuppression. We have compared the therapeutic efficacy of clinically well-known lipophilic nitrosoureas BCNU, CCNU, and MeCCNU with the recently introduced water-soluble nitrosoureas chlorozotocin (CZT) and hydroxyethyl-CNU (HeCNU), using a human melanoma xenograft system. There were considerable differences in tumor-inhibitory activity, with HeCNU ranking first and CZT last, and the rank order was similar for drug-induced lethality or bone marrow damage (in terms of reduced cellularity or macromolecular DNA damage). When the doses are expressed as percentages of the corresponding LD10/30 values, CZT ranks last and HeCNU low among conventional nitrosoureas. We conclude that water-solubility is not associated with reduced myelosuppression and that other guidelines will have to be adopted for rational development of nitrosoureas.
