| Abstract |
The present paper describes 4-amino-N-(2'-aminophenyl)benzamide (GOE1734) with regard to synthesis; toxicity in mice, rats, and dogs; and differential therapeutic efficacy in slowly and rapidly proliferating rat tumors. GOE1734, an analog of a group of compounds known for other than antitumor effects with relatively simple N-acyl-O-phenylenediamine structure, is characterized by a low bacterial mutagenic potential after in vitro metabolic activation and DNA-DNA crosslinking activity after in vivo treatment. Maximum tolerated doses in rats and dogs amount to 4 and 1 mg/kg, respectively. High growth-inhibiting efficacy was obtained in intratibially implanted osteosarcoma, in methylnitrosourea-induced primary mammary carcinoma, and in acetoxymethyl-methylnitrosamine-induced colorectal adenocarcinoma. GOE1734 proved to be ineffective in transplanted Yoshida sarcoma and Walker 256 carcinosarcoma when single or multiple doses were administered at dose levels that were moderately toxic or not toxic. Some antitumor effects were observed in L5222 leukemia after ip transplantation, but no effect could be observed after ic implantation or in vitro incubation and subsequent retransplantation of these cells. Since the latter three rat tumors are characterized by relatively short tumor volume doubling times (0.5-2 days), whereas the first three grow slower (tumor volume doubling time, 11-19 days), the remarkable differential antitumor activity of GOE1734 in fast and slowly growing malignancies is striking.
