[Selective action of hydrazine sulfate in combination with thiophosphamide on tumor cell mitochondria]

Abstract

Hydrazine sulfate significantly potentiated antitumor effect of thiophosphamide in experiments on rats with Walker's tumor. The treatment with hydrazine sulfate (60 mg/kg) plus thiophosphamide (1 mg/kg) resulted in suppression of tumor growth up to 90%, the dosage of thiophosphamide being therapeutically ineffective. Following hydrazine sulfate treatment, the activity (pH: 7.0-7.5-7.75) derived from tumors doubled, as compared with control. Similar results were obtained with enzymatic preparations. The activities of DNP-stimulated ATPase and solubilized enzymes in rat liver were not influenced by treatment.
