Effects of benzamidine derivatives on Ha-ras-1 mRNA accumulation in a Chinese hamster cell line transformed with the activated human T24 Ha-ras-1 oncogene.
Tetra benzamidine derivatives were found to inhibit proteinase activity, cell proliferation and accumulation of the Ha-ras-1 mRNA in the FHO6T1-1 Chinese Hamster cell line, transformed with the activated human T24-Ha-ras-1 oncogene. Di- and Tri-benzamidine derivatives were also found to be potent inhibitors of proliferation of FHO6T1-1 cells. These latter compounds could be proposed as useful substrates in the synthesis of drug-conjugated monoclonal antibodies or growth factors.
