Abstract

Growth-inhibitory activity of 2'-deoxycoformycin (DCF) and 9-beta-D-arabinofuranosyladenine (Ara-A) used either singly or in combination was assessed in 30 human cultured cell lines (seven T-cell, nine B-cell, five non-T,non-B and nine myeloid cell lines) derived from leukemias and lymphomas. DCF had little activity even at 100 microM on any of the cell lines, while Ara-A had an obvious inhibitory effect on them, especially on non-T,non-B cell lines at 10 microM or less. Lymphoid cell lines were apparently more sensitive to the combined use of Ara-A and DCF than myeloid cell lines. DCF potentiated the antiproliferative activity of Ara-A not only in T-cell lines with high adenosine deaminase (ADA) activity, but also in some other cell lines with low ADA activity. DCF was stable in the culture medium, but Ara-A in the medium containing cultured cells was rapidly inactivated. DCF completely inhibited the inactivation of Ara-A in the medium containing P12/ICH or NALM-6, but not in the medium containing Daudi. This suggests that there is some unknown mechanism(s) of inactivation of Ara-A other than ADA in Daudi, which was insensitive to Ara-A in the presence of 1 microM DCF. The capacity of DCF to inhibit degradation of Ara-A in the...Continue Reading
