Comparative Study of Toxicity of Alkoxyamines In Vitro and In Vivo

详细

Effect of alkoxyamines on normal and tumor cells was studied in vitro and in vivo. In vitro experiments showed that alkoxyamines produce a dose-dependent toxic effect on cells of human breast tumor MCF7 line. Transplantation of Krebs-2 ascites carcinoma cells preincubated with alkoxyamines to mice did not induce tumor growth. An opposite effect was observed in normal mouse cells: functional activity of peritoneal macrophages increased. The possibility of using alkoxyamines as theranostic agents is discussed.
