Disease relevance of Cystemustine

  • Cystemustine induces redifferentiation of primary tumors and confers protection against secondary tumor growth in a melanoma murine model [1].
  • Both healthy mice and tumor-bearing mice were given a single i.p. injection of cystemustine (20 mg/kg) 3 days after the onset of cachexia [2].
  • Therefore, cystemustine-treated B16 melanoma tumors acquire a new Plp metabolism phenotype, a mechanism that could participate in tumor cell redifferentiation and/or survival [3].
  • The lowest cystemustine toxicity was found near the middle of the active span of the rest-activity circadian cycle of mice [4].
  • Phase II study of cystemustine in metastatic colorectal carcinoma. A trial of the EORTC Clinical Screening Group [5].

Gene context of Cystemustine

  • Previously, we have shown that O6-benzyl-N2-acetylguanosine (BNAG), an MGMT inhibitor, can be combined with cystemustine by intravenous administration, and increases the antitumour effect of cystemustine in resistant human melanoma [11].
  • The concentration-dependent number of apoptotic cells assessed using a terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated dUTP-fluorescein nick-end labelling (TUNEL) assay 72 h after BCNU or cystemustine treatment (0-400 microM for 2 h) was increased by prior AGAT depletion with BNAG pretreatment (300 microM for 4 h) in Mer cells [7].
