In vitro cytotoxicity of nelarabine, clofarabine and flavopiridol in paediatric acute lymphoblastic leukaemia.
The in vitro efficacies of three new drugs--clofarabine (CLOF), nelarabine (NEL) and flavopiridol (FP) - were assessed in a panel of acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL) cell lines. The 50% inhibitory concentration (IC50) for CLOF across all lines was 188-fold lower than that of NEL. B-lineage, but not T-lineage lines, were >7-fold more sensitive to CLOF than cytosine arabinoside (ARAC). NEL IC50 was 25-fold and 113-fold higher than ARAC in T- and B-lineage, respectively. T-ALL cells were eightfold more sensitive to NEL than B-lineage but there was considerable overlap. FP was more potent in vitro than glucocorticoids and thiopurines and at doses that recent phase I experience predicts will translate into clinical efficacy. Potential cross-resistance of CLOF, NEL and FP was observed with many front-line ALL therapeutics but not methotrexate or thiopurines. Methotrexate sensitivity was inversely related to that of NEL and FP. Whilst NEL was particularly effective in T-ALL, a subset of patients with B-lineage ALL might also be sensitive. CLOF appeared to be marginally more effective in B-lineage than T-ALL and has a distinct resistance profile that may prove useful in combination with other compounds. FP should be widely effective in ALL if sufficient plasma levels can be achieved clinically.
