| Popis: | A series of over 70 difluoropurine analogs was synthesized by varying the C-2, 6 and 8 substituents about the purine ring system. After initial in vitro and in vivo screening, testing concentrated on the 2,6-diaminopurine analog (dFdAP) and the guanosine analog (dFdG). dFDAP appears to be a prodrug for dFdG. Both compounds significantly inhibited mammary tumor growth in mice, caused a moderate inhibition in ovarian and lymphosarcoma models, and demonstrated no activity in lung and melanoma models. This is a narrower spectrum of activity than that of gemcitabine (dFdC). The antitumor activity of dFdAP in human xenografts that are refractory to standard clinical agents was comparable or superior to that of gemcitabine. However, during the preliminary toxicology testing, dFdG was associated with several deaths caused by cardiac toxicity. Therefore, although dFdG is a potentially useful oncolytic, further investigation is required. |
