Clinical Evaluation of Thioguanosine*
نویسنده
چکیده
~-Amino-6-mercapto-9fl-D-ribofuranosylpurine (thioguanosine) has been used orally and intravenously in the t reatment of 82 patients with leukemias and disseminated tumors. The oral dose of thioguanosine required to produce toxic or therapeutic responses was less than half the oral dose of thioguanine necessary to produce comparable results calculated on a molar basis. However, the two compounds were equally active when given by the intravenous route, indicating that the difference in oral dosage of the two compounds was due to a difference in absorption. Remissions have occurred in diseases which might have been expected to respond to the purine antagonists (acute leukemia in children and adults and chronic granulocytic leukemia) and only in cases which had not already become resistant to 6-mercaptopurine. Thioguanosine therefore appeared to have no qualitative or quantitative advantages over the previously available purine analogs.

Development of new 1,3-diazaphenoxazine derivatives (thioG-grasp) to covalently capture 8-thioguanosine.
The derivatives of 8-thioguanosine are thought to be included in the signal transduction system related to 8-nitroguanosine. In this study, we attempted to develop new 1,3-diazaphenoxazine (G-clamp) derivatives to covalently capture 8-thioguanosine (thioG-grasp). It was expected that the chlorine atom at the end of the linker would be displaced by the nucleophilic attack by the sulfur atom of 8...
متن کاملExcretion of spermidine from BHK-21/C13 cells exposed to 6-thioguanosine.
The growth of BHK-21/C13 cells in monolayer cultures was inhibited by 6-thioguanosine. Accumulation of putrescine, spermidine, and spermine was inhibited by 6-thioguanosine, and cells incubated in the presence of the drug had a decreased content of polyamines relative to control cells. These effects were more marked for spermidine than for spermine or putrescine. Consequently, the intracellular...
متن کاملThe interaction of chromophoric nucleotides with subfragment 1 of myosin.
The interaction of a series of chromophoric nucleotides derived from 6-mercapto-9-beta-ribofuranosylpurine (thioinosine, thiol) and 2-amino-6-mercapto-9-beta-ribofuranosyl-purine (thioguanosine, thioG) with myosin subfragment 1 isolated from rabbit skeletal muscle was investigated kinetically and spectroscopically. The Mg2+-dependent hydrolyses of thioITP and thioGTP are catalysed by subfragmen...
متن کاملExcited-state dynamics in 6-thioguanosine from the femtosecond to microsecond time scale.
Patients treated with the immunosuppressant and anticancer drugs 6-thioguanine, azathioprine, or mercaptopurine can metabolize and incorporate them in DNA as 6-thioguanosine. The skin of these patients is sensitive to UVA radiation, and long-term treatment can result in extremely high incidence of sunlight-induced skin cancer. In this contribution the photophysics of 6-thioguanosine have been s...
