The anticonvulsant drug 1-methyl-1-cyclohexanecarboxylic acid ( MCCA ) has been shown to cause maturation of murine neuroblastoma cells in vitro at concentrations that are pharmacologically achievable. HL-60 human promyelocytic leukemia cells cultured with this drug underwent a dose-dependent decrease in
