An overview of thymidine

Abstract

This review summarizes a body of information suggesting that proper metabolic modulation with certain metabolites can sensitize tumor cells to antimetabolites, and others can de-sensitize (i .e . protect) normal cells from the toxicity of antimetabolites. This new approach offers the possibility of increasing the selectivity of drug therapy, with the promise of a real advance in cancer chemotherapy. The metabolite thymidine (TdR), long used as a cell synchronizing agent, is known to exert this effect in vitro by metabolic modulation of a number of enzymes in the salvage pathway to DNA synthesis. Against this biochemical background, in vivo effects of TdR employed as an agent for cancer therapy are reviewed as follows: 1) TdR alone, and in combination with, 2) Methotrexate (MTX), or 3) 5-Fluorouracil (FU), or 4) Cytosine arabinoside (ara-C). TdR is shown in all instances either to protect against host toxicity (eg. MTX), or to potentiate the anti-tumor effect (eg. FU and ara-C). Findings are also presented that a sequential schedule of MTX prior to TdR prior to FU is important for the optimal therapeutic activity of these drugs. The biochemical basis for the MTX → FU augmentation is reportedly due to increased activation of FU by MTX (acting indirectly). On the basis of this biochemical insight, a completely different chemotherapeutic agent methyl-mercaptopurine rihoside (MMPR) was substituted for MTX, resulting in a dramatic potentiation of anticancer activity. Metabolic modulation with still other metabolites (UR) and a hormone (testosterone) was demonstrated to protect from host toxicity due to certain anti-cancer agents without offsetting anti-tumor activity. The ability to prevent leukopenia by these means was particularly impressive. Clinical trials have been initiated with TdR alone, TdR + MTX, and TdR + FU; the available clinical data are summarized.
