The availability of uridine can alter the sensitivity of tumor cells to antimetabolites such as N-phosphonacetyl-L-aspartic acid (PALA) and acivicin by virtue of the cell's ability to salvage preformed metabolites from its environment. We investigated the pharmacokinetics of physiologically relevant

Eighteen patients with non-small cell lung cancer were entered into a phase II protocol of oral 4-demethoxydaunorubicin. All were evaluable for toxicity and 17 for response. The major toxicity was hematologic with eight patients developing an ECOG grade 3 or 4 toxicity. There were no responses to th
Idarubicin (4-demethoxydaunorubicin: DMDNR) is an orally active analogue of daunorubicin that has shown promising activity in animal and early clinical studies. We gave idarubicin in a phase II study to patients with advanced breast cancer unresponsive to hormonal manipulation and in some cases to s
