Popis: | The uptake of administered quinacrine was studied in normal tissues and in Walker. 256 carcinosarcoma tumors implanted in livers and stomachs of rats. Tissue concentrations were measured by a fluorometric technique. The concentration of quinacrine in tumors as compared to that in the liver (T/L ratios) or in the stomach (T/S ratios) was directly related to the size of the tumor. These ratios averaged > 3 in animals with the smallest tumors and < 1 in animals with large tumors. Additional studies comparing uptake of quinacrine and iodoquinacrine suggested that peak T/L ratios occurred at 1 to 3 days with the former compound, with an earlier peak occurring at 1 day with the latter chemical. It is speculated that cancer diagnostic techniques could be developed using tissue measurements, histochemistry, or radioactive scanning of these compounds. |
