Increased cancericidal activity of PTT.119, a new synthetic bis-(2-chloroethyl)amino-L-phenylalanine derivative with carrier amino acids. I. In vitro cytotoxicity.

Abstract：

:A new synthetic tripeptide (p-F-Phe-m-bis-(2-chloroethyl)amino-Phe-Met ethoxy HCl), PTT.119, was demonstrated to have significant cancericidal activity against seven in vitro tumor cell lines of different origins and etiologies and against primary human AMML, ALL, and hairy cell leukemias. Viabilities of each murine tumor and rabbit, marmoset, and human leukemia and lymphoma line were significantly reduced by treatment with 1-50 micrograms PTT.119 in media containing serum. Continuous 24-h exposure or pulse treatment as short as 15 and 30 min with the tripeptide resulted in irreversible damage to the tumor cells. Under identical treatment conditions, freshly isolated human leukemic cells, particularly ALL lymphoblasts, were even more susceptible to PTT.119 than any of the tested tumor cell models. Examination of the parameters of PTT.119 activity revealed that reductions of tumor cell survival were dependent on the concentration of the tripeptide. Prolongation of PTT.119 exposure from 15 min to 24 h increased the rates of tumor cell death but did not proportionally reduce the numbers of surviving cells. Assessment of tumor cell viabilities for 5 consecutive days following pulse exposure to PTT.119 demonstrated increasing reductions in tumor cell survival, which were greatest 5 days after treatment of PTT.119 was compared with its three parental components either as individual agents or as a mixture. Both the alkylator moiety, m-sarcolysin (m.L.SL) alone or together with p-fluoro-phenylalanine and L-methionine ethoxy HCl, and L-PAM (L-phenylalanine and L-methionine ethoxy HCl, and L-PAM (L-phenylalanine mustard), the p-isomer of m.L.SL, were 1,5- to 3-fold less cytotoxic to L1210 leukemia and MJY-alpha mammary tumor cells than PTT.119. Covalent linkage of the amino acid residues to m.L.SL yielded a molecule with greatly augmented cancericidal activity capable of acting against a broad spectrum of tumor cells.
