We have investigated the distribution, biotranformation, and excretion of streptozotocin and its 14C- and 3H-labeled metabolities in 15 patients with advanced cancer. Streptozotocin was detected in the plasma during the first 3 hours after administration while radioactive products were present for longer than 24 hours. No unchanged streptozotocin w...

The effects of the intravenous administration of triazinate by single and multiple injections were studied in beagle dogs and rhesus monkeys. In dogs, dose levels ranging from 0.3125 to 40 mg/kg were given either as single doses daily for 5 days, or once weekly for 6 weeks. The 5-day regimen was also studied in monkeys with dose levels from 2.5 to ...

Inhibition of the deamination of 14C-cytosine arabinoside by two lots of tetrahydrouridine was studied in monkey serum. The average inhibition of deaminase activity was 78% for tetrahydrouridine lot AJ39 (1.0 muM) when the concentration of cytosine arabinoside ranged from 44.2 to 170.7 muM; under the same conditions tetrahydrouridine lot AJ22 inhib...
