Abstract：
:The effects of NAMI-A, a novel ruthenium compound endowed with selective antimetastatic action, were tested on solid metastasising tumours of the mouse in comparison to cisplatin, cyclophosphamide and dacarbazine. Each compound was administered i.p. as freshly prepared solutions in isotonic saline in combination with surgical removal of primary tumour, and was used at the maximum tolerated dose. NAMI-A significantly reduced the growth of lung metastases either when given prior to surgery (early growing tumours) on TS/A adenocarcinoma or after surgical ablation of primary tumours (already established lung metasases) on Lewis lung carcinoma. The postsurgical treatment of mice bearing MCa mammary carcinoma caused a significant prolongation of the life-span of the treated animals. In the comparison experiments, dacarbazine was completely ineffective, cisplatin was as active as NAMI-A on MCa mammary carcinoma, slightly less active than NAMI-A on TS/A adenocarcinoma and inactive on Lewis lung carcinoma, and cyclophosphamide was always more active than any other treatment performed. These data stress that NAMI-A, independently of the lack of direct cell cytotoxicity, when compared to the reference drugs, has a potent therapeutic effect in mice bearing solid metastasising tumours.
