Abstract excerpt
The ability of O(6)-benzylguanine (BG) to inactivate alkyltransferase (AGT) to potentiate the antitumor efficacy of 1,3-bis(2-chloroethyl)-1-nitrosourea (BCNU) is being tested in clinical trials. As of now, there are no examples of acquired resistance to BG+BCNU in the clinical setting. However, we hypothesized that genetically unstable tumors might develop resistance to the combination after repeated...
