title: [Antimetastatic action of bacterial endotoxins and changes in the activity of the enzymes of purine metabolism in macrophages].
abstract: The antimetastatic action of bacterial endotoxins (BET), E. coli 0111:B4, B in particular, as well as their influence on the adenosine deaminase and 5'-nucleotidase activity were studied in peritoneal macrophages of mice bearing lung Lewis carcinoma. BET inhibition of lung metastasis growth was found to be due to such changes in macrophage adenosine metabolism, that testifies to the rise of their functional activity. The change in the level of macrophage purine metabolism can be considered as an important evidence of the effectiveness of the drugs capable to inhibit the metastasis growth.
