    Notizen: Abstract Purpose: To determine the effect of combined treatment with 7-ethyl-10-hydroxycamptothecin (SN-38, the active metabolite of irinotecan) and 5-fluorouracil/folinic acid (5FU/FA) in vitro using HCT-8 human intestinal adenocarcinoma cells. Methods: Cell survival was examined using colony forming assays. Cell cycle distribution before and after treatment was assessed by flow microfluorimetry. Levels of thymidylate synthase (TS) and topoisomerase I (topo I) in untreated and treated cells were determined by immunoblotting. Changes in deoxynucleotide pools were examined by high-performance liquid chromatography. Results: Clonogenic assays revealed that colony formation was decreased by 50% after a 24-h exposure to 8 ± 2 nM SN-38 or 12 ± 3 μM 5FU, the latter being assayed in the presence of 2 μM FA. When treatment with 5FU/FA was followed by SN-38, the cytotoxicity was similar to that observed with 5FU/FA alone. In contrast, when HCT-8 cells were exposed to both agents simultaneously or to SN-38 followed by 5FU/FA, the cytotoxicity was greater than that of SN-38 or 5FU/FA treatment alone. Investigation of the mechanistic basis for this sequence dependence revealed that SN-38 treatment was associated with a dose- and time-dependent decrease in conversion of [5-3H]-2′-deoxyuridine to [3H]-H2O and thymidylate in intact cells. Immunoblotting failed to reveal any decrease in TS protein that could account for the decreased activity. High-performance liquid chromatography revealed that SN-38 treatment was associated with increased levels of the deoxynucleotide dTTP and decreased levels of dUTP. Flow microfluorimetry revealed that a 24-h treatment with 10 nM SN-38 resulted in accumulation of HCT-8 cells in late S and G2 phases of the cell cycle, with a further increase in the G2 fraction during the 24 h after SN-38 removal. Conclusions: These observations are consistent with a model in which SN-38 sequentially induces diminished DNA synthesis, elevated dTTP pools, inhibition of dUMP synthesis and enhanced toxicity of 5FU/FA. Accordingly, sequencing of irinotecan and 5FU/FA might be important in combining these agents into an effective treatment for colorectal cancer.

    Notizen: Summary The ability of ASTA Z 7557 to inhibit colony formation in vitro by 6 human tumor cell lines and 3 methylcholanthrene-induced murine fibrosarcomas was compared to that of cyclophosphamide, 4-hydroperoxy-cyclophosphamide, BCNU, cisplatin, mitomycin C, doxorubicin, and 5-fluorouracil, as a function of dose, and duration of exposure. All drugs except cyclophosphamide were active in a dose and time dependent manner against all cell lines. ASTA Z 7557 and 4-hydroperoxy-cyclophosphamide at equimolar concentrations had similar antiproliferative activities. The stabilities of ASTA Z 7557 and 4-hydroperoxy-cyclophosphamide as measured by cytotoxic activity remaining after incubation at various times at 37° in complete tissue culture medium containing 10% fetal calf serum were identical. At initial concentrations of 20 μM, cytotoxic activity of both compounds began to decline after two hours of incubation and all activity was lost after 24 hours of incubation. In vitro, ASTA Z 7557 produced, at least, additive cytotoxic activity with cisplatin, the combination of cisplatin plus doxorubicin, and human lymphoblastoid interferon.
