Np. Konovalova et al., INHIBITORY EFFECT OF RADIOSENSITIZER AK-2123 ON EXPERIMENTAL HEPATIC METASTASES AND CA2-TRANSPORT( ACTIVE), Neoplasma, 44(6), 1997, pp. 361-365
A triazole group radiosensitizer AK-2123 is shown to inhibit considera
bly the growth of hepatic metastases induced by the intrasplenic injec
tion of colon adenocarcinoma cells in syngenic mice. Even an extremely
low dose of the drug exhibits the antimetastatic effect. It is shown
that AK-2123 injected at therapeutic dose inhibits active transport of
calcium ions by the (Ca2+-Mg2+)-dependent ATP-ase. The antimetastatic
effect of AK-2123 is suggested to be related, at least partially, to
the inhibition of the active calcium transport.
