title: Investigations on the antiproliferative effects of amino acid antagonists targeting for aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases. Part III--Combination experiments.
abstract: The combined effects of amino acid antagonists with proven or potential inhibitory activities on aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases were investigated on the murine leukemic cell line P388 D1. As the best result a summation of the antiproliferative effects was observed. Combinations with established cytostatic agents like platinum complexes or other antitumor compounds also yielded partly additive effects. In experiments performed with asparaginase L-aspartic acid-beta-hydroxamate gave synergistic growth inhibition of P388 D1 cells in vitro, which was reflected by additive effects against murine leukemia P388 in vivo.
