In Vitro Cytotoxic Potential and In Vivo Antitumor Effects of NOS/PDK-Inhibitor T1084.

ABSTRACT: Previously, we showed the antitumor activity of the new NOS/PDK inhibitor T1084 (1-isobutanoyl-2-isopropylisothiourea dichloroacetate). The present study included an assessment of in vitro cytotoxicity against human malignant and normal cells according to the MTT-test and in vivo antitumor effects in solid tumor models in comparison with precursor compounds T1023 (NOS inhibitor; 1-isobutanoyl-2-isopropylisothiourea hydrobromide) and Na-DCA (PDK inhibitor; sodium dichloroacetate), using morphological, histological, and immunohistochemical methods. The effects of T1084 and T1023 on the in vitro survival of normal (MRC-5) and most malignant cells (A375, MFC-7, K562, OAW42, and PC-3) were similar and quantitatively equal. At the same time, melanoma A375 cells showed 2-2.5 times higher sensitiv
