2005 Detection of an active substance for killing of murine fibrosarcoma tumor cells by releasing apoptosis effectors, comprises adding a catalase inhibitor and detecting catalase activity and apoptotis cells Patent Assignee DE102005027796 (B4)

Detection of an active substance for killing of murine fibrosarcoma tumor cells by releasing apoptosis effectors, sample preparations are arranged in cell culture medium in a separate culture container. Detection of an active substance for killing of murine fibrosarcoma tumor cells by releasing apoptosis by effectors, sample preparations are arranged in cell culture medium in a separate culture container. The tumor cells or additionally cultured effector cells are cultured to a suitable cell density that leads to apoptosis of the tumor cells by the addition of a catalase inhibitor that acts on the exterior of the tumor cells followed by incubation of the sample preparations. The sample preparations with active substances containing a higher proportion of apoptotic tumor cells are detected.; The effector triggers apoptosis of the tumor cells by inhibiting the effect of the extracellular catalase of the tumor cells. An independent claim is included for an active substance. ACTIVITY: Cytostatic. MECHANISM OF ACTION: Catalase inhibitor.
