A comparison of adriamycin and mAMSA in vitro: cell lethality and SCE studies.

We have compared the actions of ADM and mAMSA in Chinese hamster V79 cells in vitro, using cell survival and sister-chromatid exchange as end-points. Equimolar concentrations of ADM and mAMSA show similar toxicities to exponentially growing cells, and both drugs are less effective in killing chronic...

description We have compared the actions of ADM and mAMSA in Chinese hamster V79 cells in vitro, using cell survival and sister-chromatid exchange as end-points. Equimolar concentrations of ADM and mAMSA show similar toxicities to exponentially growing cells, and both drugs are less effective in killing chronically hypoxic and plateau-phase cells. Cytotoxicity to thermotolerant cells (41 degrees C for 16 h previously) shows little difference from that for exponential cells. Pre-treating cells with misonidazole under hypoxic conditions reduces the toxicity of both ADM and mAMSA. In addition, an ADM-resistant Chinese hamster cell line, 77A-177, was cross-resistant to mAMSA. Finally, low equimolar sub-toxic doses of both drugs were found to cause similar increases in the levels of sister-chromatid exchanges in V79 cells. These results reveal no major difference in activity between ADM and mAMSA in vitro. IMAGES:
