Cucurbit[7]uril (CB[7]) is a molecular container that may form host–guest complexes with platinum(II) anticancer drugs and modulate their efficacy and safety. In this paper, we report our studies of the effect of CB[7]–oxaliplatin complex and the mixture of CB[7] and carboplatin (1:1) on viability and proliferation of a primary cell culture (peripheral blood mononuclear cells), two tumor cell lines (B16 and K562) and their activity in the animal model of melanoma. At the same time, we studied the impact of platinum (II) drugs with CB[7] on T cells and B cells in vitro. Although the stable CB[7]–carboplatin complex was not formed, the presence of cucurbit[7]uril affected the biological properties of carboplatin. In vivo, CB[7] increased the antitumor effect of carboplatin, but, at the same time, increased its acute toxicity. Compared to free oxaliplatin, its complex with CB[7] shows a greater cytotoxic effect on tumor cell lines B16 and K562, while in vivo, the effects of the free drug and encapsulated drug were comparable. However, in vivo studies also demonstrated that the encapsulation of oxaliplatin in CB[7] lowered the toxicity of the drug.

Five simian virus 40 (SV40)-hepatocyte cell lines were examined for tumorigenicity and the effect of in vitro passage on the expression of four liver-specific genes (albumin, transferrin, alpha 1-antitrypsin, and phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase), two oncogenes (c-Ha-ras and c-raf), and two genes associated with hepatocarcinogenesis (alpha-fetoprotein and placental-type glutathione-S-transferase). At low passage (12 to 22), all five cell lines expressed the four liver-specific genes at levels similar to those in the liver and were not tumorigenic or were weakly tumorigenic. At high passage (33 to 61), the cell lines formed carcinomas, and four out of five cell lines produced primary tumors that metastasized. At least two cell lines produced well-differentiated hepatocellular carcinomas that expressed liver-specific RNAs. Levels of expression of liver-specific genes changed with time in culture. Some of the changes in liver-specific gene expression in the tumor tissue (such as for the phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase gene) paralleled those that occurred with in vitro passage, while other changes (such as for the albumin gene) did not parallel those that occurred with in vitro passage. Correlations between enhanced expression of c-Ha-ras and tumorigenic potential and between the process of SV40 immortalization and induced expression of c-raf and glutathione-S-transferase-P were observed. Induction of alpha-fetoprotein was detected with in vitro and in vivo passage only in the CWSV14 cell line and was paralleled by diminished albumin expression. In conclusion, we developed a model system with five SV40-hepatocyte cell lines, tumors induced by them, and tumor cell lines to examine changes in gene expression that accompany the progression from a normal cell to a hepatocellular carcinoma. Because the SV40-hepatocyte cell lines and tumor cell lines remain highly differentiated and vary in the magnitude of expression of specific genes, they can be used to study the molecular mechanisms regulating gene expression, in particular those regulating specific genes associated with differentiation.

Benzamide derivatives have been shown to have antitumor activity in various tumor cell lines in vitro as well as in vivo. In this study, we examined the anti-proliferative effect of four benzamide derivativeson Hela, H7402, and SK-RC-42 tumor cell lines in vitro by means of Real-Time cell assay (RTCA), and found that four benzamide derivatives suppressed proliferation of tumor cells in a time-and dose-dependent manner. The anti-proliferative activity of benzamide derivatives demonstrated that theycould be promising lead compounds for developing therapeutic agents for malignant tumors.

Two tumor cell lines adapted to grow in vitro were originated from an explant of lung metastases of Lewis lung carcinoma. These lines differ in their malignancy when reinoculated into syngeneic animals; nevertheless, they do not show any difference for their in vitro clonogenic ability. From these lines 2 in vivo sublines of 3LL carcinoma were developed. The TD 50 of the 2 in vivo sublines are different, and both the values obtained are lower than that of the original line. These results are interpreted as a selection of more malignant tumor cell lines.

Methyl 3-amino-2,3,6-trideoxy-2-fluoro-β-L-galactopyranoside was hydrolyzed to the free sugar, (S)-2-fluorodaunosamine hydrochloride, which was converted into the α,β-1,4-di-O-acetyl-N-trifluoroacetyl derivative and thence into the corresponding glycosyl bromide. The latter was condensed with daunomycinone, and the product was deprotected to give the title compound. The fluoroanthracycline displayed significant cytotoxicity against a number of tumor cell lines in vitro. Antitumor activity against L1210 murine leukemia in vivo was lower than that of the parent daunorubicin, but toxicity appeared to be reduced.
