The growth and DNA synthesis of mouse leukemic cells L1210 in vitro was inhibited by (S)-9-(3-hydroxy-2-phosphonylmethoxypropyl)adenine (HPMPA) by 50% at concentrations of 57.0 and 185.0 mumols/l, respectively, 9-(2-Phosphonylmethoxyethyl)adenine (PMEA) inhibited the cell growth and DNA synthesis at concentrations of 15.5 and 250.0 mumols/l. The 2-amino congeners of the above analogs were still more efficient: The corresponding values for 2-amino-PMEA were 6.0 and 10.0 mumols/l, and for 2-amino-HPMPA 19.5 and 50.0 mumols/l, respectively. The results suggest that probably at least a part of the growth inhibitory action of PMEA is due to mechanisms not related to its interference with the DNA synthesis.
