Tumor O(6)-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase inactivation by oral lomeguatrib.
PURPOSE A major mechanism of resistance to chlorethylnitrosureas and methylating agents involves the DNA repair protein O(6)-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase (MGMT). We sought to determine the dose of oral 6-(4-bromo-2-thienyl) methoxy purin-2-amine (lomeguatrib), a pseudosubstrate inactivator of MGMT, required to render active protein undetectable 12 hours after dosing in prostate, primary ...
متن کاملInfluence of fatty acid synthase inhibitor orlistat on the DNA repair enzyme O6-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase in human normal or malignant cells in vitro.
Tetrahydrolipstatin (orlistat), an inhibitor of lipases and fatty acid synthase, is used orally for long-term treatment of obesity. Although the drug possesses striking antitumor activities in vitro against human cancer cells and in vitro and in vivo against animal tumors, it also induces precancerous lesions in rat colon. Therefore, we tested the in vitro effect of orlistat on the expression o...
متن کاملRandomized trial of the combination of lomeguatrib and temozolomide compared with temozolomide alone in chemotherapy naive patients with metastatic cutaneous melanoma.
PURPOSE To evaluate tumor response, pharmacodynamic effects, and safety of a combination of lomeguatrib (LM), an O6-methylguanine DNA-methyltransferase (MGMT) inactivator, and temozolomide (TMZ), TMZ alone, and LM/TMZ after disease progression on TMZ alone in patients with advanced melanoma. PATIENTS AND METHODS Patients with unresectable stage III or IV cutaneous melanoma who had no prior sy...
متن کاملOncolytic adenovirus-expressed RNA interference of O6-methylguanine DNA methyltransferase activity may enhance the antitumor effects of temozolomide
Temozolomide (TMZ) is an example of an alkylating agent, which are known to be effective anticancer drugs for the treatment of various solid tumors, including glioma and melanoma. TMZ acts predominantly through the mutagenic product O6-methylguanine, a cytotoxic DNA lesion. The DNA repair enzyme, O6-methylguanine DNA methyltransferase (MGMT), which functions in the resistance of cancers to TMZ,...
متن کاملO6-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase in human normal and tumor tissue from brain, lung, and ovary.
The resistance of human tumor strains in culture to cell killing by alkylating nitrosoureas is correlated with their levels of the DNA repair activity O6-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase. Strains with the Mer- phenotype have no activity and are extremely sensitive. However, the relationship between the sensitivity of human tumors in vivo and transferase levels is not known, and even the exis...
