Application

Antitumor phospholipid, induces apoptosis in three human leukemic cell lines.

Biochem/physiol Actions

C18-phosphocholine was the most potent alkylphosphocholine tested in inhibiting phosphatidylcholine biosynthesis. The effect is mediated by interrupting the translocation of the rate-limiting enzyme, CTP:phosphocholine cytidylyltransferase, to membranes, where it is active.

Packaging

Bottomless glass bottle. Contents are inside inserted fused cone.

Hexadecylphosphocholine (HPC) and its analogs with a longer alkyl chain (C18 and C20) were examined for antineoplastic activity in the murine tumor models P388 leukemia, B 16 melanoma, the mammary carcinoma C3H and Ca 755, and the human MT-1 mammary

The determination of cellular content of octadecylphosphocholine (D-19391) and hexadecylphosphocholine (HePC, D-18506), two anticancer agents of the alkylphosphocholine group, using capillary gas chromatography is described. The compounds' cytotoxicity was first determined by the MTT [3-(4,5-dimethyl-2-thiazolyl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium] assay, being indicative for the

Alkylphosphocholines (APC) represent a new group of ether-lipid-related compounds with remarkable activity against transformed cells in vitro and good tolerability in vivo. Their mechanism of action remains unknown. The aim of the present study was to investigate the effects of

Alkylphosphocholines, and especially their main representative hexadecylphosphocholine (HPC), show high anticancer activity in methylnitrosourea (MNU)-induced autochthonous rat mammary carcinoma. The regression of MNU-induced rat mammary carcinoma during HPC treatment can be evaluated by computed tomography and sonography. This allows a
