Abstract:
:The in vitro chemosensitivity of MAC 15A ascites cells to CNC-alanylalanine and CNC-glycinemethylamide was assessed using a clonogenic assay system. In vitro stability studies and in vivo pharmacokinetics were performed using a reversed-phase HPLC technique. Initial concentrations of CNC-alanylalanine and CNC-glycinemethylamide of 5.2 micrograms ml-1 and 3.2 micrograms ml-1 respectively, were required for a 70% reduction in colony formation of MAC 15A cells in vitro. The concentrations of active alkylating species generated were calculated from the drug half-lives in tissue culture medium. On this basis, a 70% cell kill was achieved by equivalent concentrations of 10.8 microM CNC-alanylalanine and 10.6 microM CNC-glycinemethylamide. Analysis of drug levels following intraperitoneal administration revealed that CNC-alanylalanine was cleared more slowly from the peritoneal cavity producing a greater drug concentration at the site of the ascitic MAC 15A tumour. These results suggested that the superior activity of CNC-alanylalanine over CNC-glycinemethylamide against MAC 15A in vivo could be attributed mainly to differences in the pharmacokinetic behaviour of the two drugs following intraperitoneal administration and that CNC-alanylalanine might have a role in the treatment of local peritoneal disease.
