title: Phase I study of anguidine administered weekly.
abstract: Anguidine was administered on a weekly schedule to 20 patients. Gastrointestinal and neurologic toxic effects were dose-limiting for both 4- and 8-hour infusions of anguidine. Myelosuppression was infrequent and not dose-related. Recommended starting doses for weekly anguidine are 6.0 mg/m2 for patients with normal hepatic function and 3.5 mg/m2 for patients with liver dysfunction.
