title: [Exploration of possible associations of antineoplastic chemotherapeutic agents in view of their mechanisms of action (author's transl)].
abstract: A careful study of the principal multidrug regimes wil reveal in each case the criteria upon which the drug association was based. In this paper the authors emphasize the importance of correlating the parameter, point of attack of the drug, with the parameter, metabolism of the malignant cell, the latter being differentiated into different functions according to thermodynamic criteria and to the particular organization of enzyme systems in the cells. Thus a multidrug association will be the more rational, the greater the number of parameters taken into consideration in its engineering; in these terms the authors outline a method of drug association affording more and more complex combinations and also the replacement of one or more component drugs in the case of resistance phenomena.
