We performed a phase I trial of CI-937 (DUP937), an anthrapyrazole, with the following objectives: (a) to determine the maximally tolerated dose in humans; (b) to define the toxicity spectrum of this agent; (c) to describe the pharmacokinetics of the drug; (d) to test a pharmacokinetics based hypothesis of dose escalation; and (e) to relate drug pharmacokinetics to pharmacodynamics. CI-937 was ...

Recombinant human lymphotoxin (rhLT) expressed in a mammalian cell line was purified and used to examine its receptors on the human histiocytic lymphoma cell line U-937. rhLT was radioiodinated by the IODO-GEN method to a specific activity of 60 microCi/micrograms; the labeled protein was biologically active in the cytolytic assay, and displaceable binding to U-937 cells was observed. The speci...
