    Notes: Summary High-dose chemotherapy and autologous bone marrow transplantation (ABMT) are commonly used to treat selected patients with high-risk breast cancer. A limitation of ABMT is that clonogenic cancer cells could be collected with the bone marrow and produce a relapse of disease when reinfused into patients. Purging the marrowex vivo may eliminate the tumor cells, but it can also delay engraftment. We employed two different purging methods whereby breast cancer cells were depleted without delaying engraftment. The addition of WR-2721 (amifostine) to 4-hydroperoxycyclophosphamide (4-HC) reduced the time to engraftment by 10 days compared with marrow purged with 4-HC alone (26 versus 37 days, respectively). The positive selection of CD34+ hematopoietic progenitors produced engraftment within 21 days. The use of granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) accelerated the engraftment time of CD34+ hematopoietic progenitors to 11 days.

    Notes: Summary Combinations of alkylating agents in intensive doses with autologous hematopoietic cell support (AHCS) are commonly used to treat advanced, solid tumors. Relatively little is known about the pharmacokinetic or pharmacodynamic aspects of their use. The cyclophosphamide, cisplatin, and BCNU (CPA/cDDP/BCNU) regimen is often used in patients with breast cancer. In these individuals, the blood levels of BCNU vary by more than tenfold. In rats given BCNU, the blood level variability is associated with cisplatin pretreatment, and mean levels are much higher than those that occur when cisplatin pretreatment is omitted. These observations suggest that a major elimination pathway for BCNU is metabolic and is subject to cisplatin disruption. Between 30–50% of patients receiving the CPA/cDDP/BCNU regimen experience a steroid-responsive pulmonary injury that can be fatal if untreated. Blood levels of BCNU are positively correlated with the risk of pulmonary injury in these patients. Others have demonstrated that blood levels of CPA can be inversely correlated with the likelihood of cardiac toxicity and 2-year, relapse-free survival in patients with breast cancer. Emerging data suggest that circulating drug levels, rather than the calculated dose, best explain the variability of outcome in patients treated with combination alkylating agents and AHCS.

    Notes: Abstract The electrolytic conductances of LiClO4, LiAsF6, NaClO4 and the n-butylammonium salts Bu4NCl, Bu4NClO4, and Bu4NBPh4 (tetraphenylborate) have been determined in dimethylsufite at 25°C. Ion association constants calculated from these data are interpreted in terms of solvent-separated ion pairs (for LiClO4, LiAsF6, and NaClO4), and contact ion pairs (for the n-butyl-ammonium salts). Comparisons are made for analogous electrolytes in acetone, and in which all salts form contact ion pairs.

    Notes: Abstract The electrolytic conductivities of LiClO4, LiAlCl4, LiAsF6, NaClO4, NaBPh4, and Bu4NClO4 have been measured in methyl formate at 25°C. Evidence is presented for strong association between the perchlorate ion and the formyl proton of the solvent. Ion association and triple ion formation constants suggest that LiClO4, LiAlCl4, and NaClO4 form solvent separate ion pairs and triple ions. NaBPh4 forms contact ion pairs and triple ions, and the remaining salts appear to form both types of ion pairs and triple ions.
