title: Potent antitumor promoting activity of N-6-aminohexyl)-5-chloro-1-naphthalenesulfonamide, a calmodulin antagonist, in mouse skin tumor formation induced by 7,12-dimethylbenz[a]anthracene plus teleocidin.
abstract: A calmodulin antagonist, N-(6-aminohexyl)-5-chloro-1-naphthalenesulfonamide (W-7) markedly inhibited the promoting activity of teleocidin on formation of skin tumors in mice initiated by 7,12-dimethylbenz[a]anthracene. This result strongly indicates that the critical action of the Ca2+-calmodulin system is responsible for tumor promotion in mouse skin.
