BM 12.531, 2-[2-cyranaziridinyl-(1)]-2-[2-carbamoylaziridinyl-(1)]-propane, a new immunostimulant compound, increased the resistance of mice to infection with Candida albicans. Because BM 12.531 had no fungistatic activity in vitro, it is proposed that the therapeutic effect of BM 12.531 is caused by the stimulation of cell-mediated immunity. Administration of cyclophosphamide alone increased the mortality among mice infected with C. albicans and Pseudomonas aeruginosa, but when BM 12.531 was then administered to these animals, the mortality was reduced. Among mice with acute Escherichia coli infection, a synergistic effect of chloramphenicol and BM 12.531 was demonstrated.
Summary. Patients with different types of cancer received treatment PO or I V with the new immunostimulating compound, 2-[2-cyanaziridinyl-(1)]-2-[2-carbamoylaziridinyl-(1)]-propane, B M 12.531 (Prop. I N N azimexon). After I V administration of 200 mg on 5 consecutive days or oral administration of 300 mg on 7 consecutive days a significant increase in the percentage of active T lymphocytes was seen. After in vitro incubation
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
