Abstract

The antitumor activity of tallysomycins A and B was determined in five experimental tumor systems in mice. Tallysomycins A and B were highly active against B16 melanoma, sarcoma 180 ascites tumor and Lewis lung carcinoma, and moderately active against P388 leukemia but were without effect on lymphoid leukemia L1210. The antitumor activity of tallysomycin A was 2 to 3 times that of tallysomycin B and 3 to 17 times that of bleomycin. Tallysomycin A was about 1.5 and 4 times more toxic for mice than tallysomycin B and bleomycin, respectively, in terms of subacute LD50 values.
