摘要
Several newly synthesized boron betaine analogs had anti‐tumor activity in Ehrlich ascites, Walker 256 ascites carcinosarcoma, and Lewis lung screens and marginal activity in the B‐16 melanotic melanoma screen. In vivo testing demonstrated that trimethylamine‐cyanoborane inhibited Ehrlich ascites cell DNA and protein syntheses as well as gene modulation by chromatin protein phosphorylation and methylation. Trimethylamine‐cyanoborane increased cyclic‐AMP levels. In vitro testing showed that nuclear DNA polymerase, thymidylate synthetase, S‐adenosylmethyltransferase, nonhistone chromatin methylation, deoxyribonuclease, ribonuclease, and cathepsin were inhibited by the boron analogs. These compounds did not demonstrate high antitumor activity at the doses employed, but blockage of methyl transfer from S‐adenosylmethionine was established as a feasible method for controlling cell proliferation.
