Popis: The novel cytotoxic nucleoside analog Compound 003 (3'-azidothymidine 5'-[p-methoxyphenyl methoxyalaninyl phosphate], CAS 149560-32-7) prevented bipolar mitotic spindle assembly and caused a G2 arrest in human cancer cells. Compound 003 was very well tolerated by both mice and rats without any toxicity at cumulative dose levels >2 g/kg. Notably, Compound 003 prolonged cancer-free survival in the MMTVneu transgenic mouse model of HER2 positive breast cancer. These results indicate that Compound 003 may be useful in the treatment of cancer patients.
