Tiazofurin and selenazofurin induce depression of cGMP and phosphatidylinositol pathway in L1210 leukemia cells.
    Biochemical and biophysical research communications, 1989, Oct-31, Volume: 164, Issue:2

    The synthetic nucleoside tiazofurin(2-beta-ribofuranosylthiazole-4-carboxyamide) and its selenium analog selenazofurin inhibited the growth of L1210 leukemia cell culture in a dose dependent manner with IC50 value of 2.0 and 0.2 Um respectively. The GTP/ATP ratio was diminished 4-6 fold as measured by HPLC, while IMP/ATP increased 6-8 fold. The decreased guanylate pools may explain the 30% reduction in cyclic GMP levels and GTPase activity measured after the treatment with the nucleosides. Inhibition of phospholipase C activity is suggested since diacylglycerol content, protein kinase C activity and phorbol ester binding of the membrane fraction were also reduced 20-40%. These results reveal a novel aspect in the action of these compounds which may play a role in their therapeutic action and selectivity.
