Antileukemic effect of low-dose harringtonine
Chinese Medical Journal
|June 1, 1989
Abstract:
The effect of harringtonine (HA) in various concentrations on HL-60 was evaluated. 0.10 microgram/ml HA showed a strong cell killing effect, and 0.025 microgram/ml HA a weak differentiation induction accompanied by cell growth retardation. Differentiation induction did not occur in 5 other human leukemic cell lines. We consider that antileukemic effect of HA is cytotoxicity, not differentiation induction.
