01/01/1983 - "In contrast with other results obtained with this tumor, chlorozotocin has a less pronounced effect than GANU, and virtually none in lung metastases of Lewis lung carcinoma."
01/01/1983 - "GANU has significant activity against P388 leukemia and TLX5 lymphoma, and also against the solid tumors B16 melanoma and Lewis lung carcinoma; pulmonary metastases of this tumor are particularly sensitive to the effects of GANU. "
01/01/1983 - "The effects of GANU on TLX5 lymphoma and Lewis lung carcinoma are less pronounced than those of BCNU and CCNU, as already reported for L1210 leukemia. "
06/01/1982 - "The antitumor activity of 1-(2-chloroethyl)-3-isobutyl-3-(beta-maltosyl)-1-nitrosourea (TA-077), a novel water-soluble nitrosourea derivative, against leukemia L1210, Ehrlich carcinoma, sarcoma 180, Lewis lung carcinoma, Yoshida sarcoma, rat ascites hepatomas and Walker 256 carcinosarcoma was examined and compared with those of 3 reference nitrosourea antitumor agents, 1-(2-chloroethyl)-3-(beta-D-glucopyranosyl)-1-nitrosourea, 3-[(4-amino-2-methyl-5-pyrimidinyl)methyl]-1-(2-chloroethyl)-1-nitrosourea hydrochloride and 1-(2-chloroethyl)-3-cyclohexyl-1-nitrosourea. "
10/01/1984 - "A new water-soluble nitrosourea derivative, methyl 6-[3-(2-chloroethyl)-3-nitrosoureido]-6-deoxy-alpha-D-glucopyranoside (MCNU), was tested for antitumor activity against murine tumors (L1210 and P388 leukemias, B16 melanoma, and Lewis lung carcinoma) and BC-47 rat bladder carcinoma, and the results were compared with those for four other nitrosourea derivatives; chlorozotocin, 1-(2-chloroethyl)-3-(beta-D-glucopyranosyl)-1-nitrosourea (GANU), 3-[(4-amino-2-methyl-5-pyrimidinyl)methyl]-1-(2-chloroethyl)-1- nitrosourea hydrochloride (ACNU), and 1-(2-chloroethyl)-3-(4-methylcyclohexyl)-1-nitrosourea (methyl-CCNU).
