Abstract

The inhibitory effect of VM-26 and Homoharringtonine (HHT) on the in vitro growth of a human pancreatic cell line (MIA PaCa-2) was tested. The ID₅₀ of VM-26 and HHT was 6 x 10^-7 M and 2 x 10^-5 M respectively. Increasing time exposure from 1 hr to continuous exposure for 5 days resulted in a 30-fold decrease in ID₅₀ for VM-26 and a 2,000-fold decrease for HHT. ¹⁴C-labelled thymidine and leucine studies revealed that VM-26 inhibited DNA synthesis, while HTT inhibited both DNA and protein synthesis.
