It has been demonstrated that interleukin 1 (ILl) injection provokes a great variety of biological effects, notably an activation of the corticotropic axis, increasing plasma adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) and corticosterone. However, the primary site of action of IL1 is still controversial. In

✦ Synopsis
Four anticancer agents, neothramycin, aclacinomycin, FK-565 and FK-156, were tested for their effects on concanavalin-A-induced interleukin-2 release from rat splenocytes in vitro. Neothramycin showed an enhancement of the release of interleukin-2, whereas aclacinomycin had no effect. FK-565 and FK-156 were found to inhibit the release of interleukin-2 under similar conditions. The inhibition was much more marked with FK-565. These drugs were also tested for their effects on the release of interleukin-1 from rat peritoneal exudate cells stimulated by lipopolysaccharide in vitro. Neothramycin and aclacinomycin did not affect the release of interleukin-1 ; however, both FK-565 and FK-156 resulted in its enhanced release under these conditions.
