Among a variety of anti-tumour agents tested, oxanosine and 5-azacytidine were found to be significantly more effective in inhibiting growth of rat kidney cells infected with a temperature-sensitive mutant of Rous sarcoma virus at a permissive temperature (33 degrees C) than at a non-permissive temperature (39 degrees C). These two nucleoside antibiotics were antagonistic to each other in cytotoxicity. They seem to share the same carrier-mediated membrane-transport system, because dipyridamole, a potent inhibitor of nucleoside transport, protected cells from the cytotoxicity of both drugs. Thymidine transport, which is twice as fast in cells at 33 degrees C as at 39 degrees C, was competitively inhibited by both drugs. Thus the differential toxicity of oxanosine and 5-azacytidine at the two temperatures is thought to be due to their increased transport via the thymidine-transport system, which is somehow under the influence of the active src-gene product.
