Anti-tumor effect of N-beta-alanyl-5-S-glutathionyldihydroxyphenylalanine (5-S-GAD), a novel anti-bacterial substance from an insect.

Abstract:

PURPOSE:We examined the anti-tumor effect of 5-S-GAD, a novel potent inhibitor of protein tyrosine kinases, isolated from the flesh fly in order to investigate the potential use of this compound as an anti-tumor agent. METHODS:In vitro growth inhibition was evaluated using the alamarBlue assay kit. In vivo anti-tumor activity was evaluated by i.p. treatment of 5-S-GAD against xenografted melanoma (LOX-IMV1) and breast carcinoma (MDA-MB-435S) in nude mice. RESULTS:Of 38 human cancer cell lines examined, this compound showed significant cytotoxicity toward two estrogen-negative breast carcinomas (MDA-MB-231 and MDA-MB-435S) and one malignant melanoma (LOX-IMV1) in vitro, indicating that it exhibits selective cytotoxicity to certain tumor cell lines. In accordance with its in vitro anti-tumor effect, 5-S-GAD was shown to significantly repress the growth of sensitive tumor cells in nude mice. CONCLUSION:These results indicate that 5-S-GAD is potentially useful to treat certain human cancer.
