Effect of β-3-Thienylalanine and Deoxypyridoxine on the Growth of the Murphy-Sturm Lymphosarcoma^*

Zdenek Hruban and Robert W. Wissler

( Department of Pathology, The University of Chicago, Chicago, Ill.)

Moderate growth inhibition was obtainable in several transplantable tumors by the feeding of β-3-thienylalanine in diets lacking phenylalanine.

The effects of β-3-thienylalanine and deoxypyridoxine were additive in inhibition of the growth of Murphy-Strum lymphosarcoma; this inhibition was further increased by testosterone, Halotestin, and Nilevar.

Small amounts of phenylpyruvate used with small doses of β-3-thienylalanine and deoxypyridoxine appeared to be of greater advantage to the host than to the tumor.
