The impetus for investigating the application of phosphorylthioate drugs for use in cancer therapy arose from the early observation by Yuhas and Storer (1969) that these drugs might differentially protect normal as compared to tumor tissue. Recent reports now suggest that these agents may have a more general role with respect to the cancer problem, especially in the area of cancer prevention. Following the initial observation by Milas et al.(1984) that S-2 (3-aminopropylamino) ethylphosphorothioic acid (WR-2721, ethiofos) significantly protected rodents against the induction of tumors by irradiation, a series of reports have appeared in the literature that describe the antimutagenic (Grdina et al., 1985a; Nagy et al., 1986; Nagy and Grdina, 1986), antitransformation (Hill et al., 1986), and the anticarcinogenic properties (Grdina et al., 1985b) of WR-2721 and its corresponding free thiol 2-(3-aminopropylamino) ethanethiol (WR-1065). These studies have helped to stimulate a strong interest in characterizing selected molecular and cellular end points affected by radiation such as DNA damage and repair, effects on proteins, and cell-cycle progression.
