title: Antitumor activity of 1,4-bis (2'-chloroethyl)-1,4-diazabicyclo-[2.2.1] heptane dimaleate (Dabis Maleate) in M5076 and its subline resistant to cyclophosphamide M5/CTX.
abstract: We investigated the antitumoral activity of Dabis Maleate given on different dosage schedules and as continuous infusion in a murine reticular cell sarcoma M5076 (M5) and in a subline made resistant to cyclophosphamide and other nitrogen mustards (M5/CTX). The therapeutic index of Dabis Maleate was clearly better when the drug was given as a continuous 72-h infusion. Dabis Maleate appeared non-cross-resistant to cyclophosphamide and this property renders it interesting for further clinical development.
