The effect of 2',6'-dimethyl-N(4')-benzyl-N(4')- [desmethyl]rifampicin on viral transformation induced by two unrelated oncogenic viruses was compared. Transformation of Balb/3T3 cells by the small, DNA-containing papova virus simian virus 40 was completely normal under conditions where transformation by the large, RNA-containing oncornavirus murine sarcoma virus was inhibited more than 150-fold. For these experiments a resistant variant of Balb/3T3 was selected that grows well in high concentrations of the drug, is not dependent on the drug for growth, and is probably not blocked at the level of drug uptake. These data show that dimethyl-benzylrifampicin specifically inhibits oncornavirus-induced transformation rather than nonspecifically inhibiting cellular growth or transformation.
比较了2',6'-二甲基-N(4')-苄基-N(4')-[去甲基]利福平对两种不相关致癌病毒诱导的病毒转化的影响。在含RNA的大型肿瘤病毒鼠肉瘤病毒诱导的转化被抑制超过150倍的条件下,含DNA的小型乳头多瘤病毒猿猴病毒40对Balb/3T3细胞的转化完全正常。在这些实验中,选择了Balb/3T3的一个抗性变体,它在高浓度药物中生长良好,生长不依赖于药物,并且可能在药物摄取水平上没有被阻断。这些数据表明,二甲基苄基利福平特异性抑制肿瘤病毒诱导的转化,而不是非特异性抑制细胞生长或转化。
