Background.LF 15-0195 is a novel, more potent, and less toxic analogue of 15-deoxyspergualin, an antibiotic used as an immunosuppressive agent to prevent rejection of organ transplants. This study was undertaken to determine whether LF 15-0195 monotherapy would prevent renal allograft rejection in a nonhuman primate model.Methods.In the study groups, recipients received LF 15-0195 monotherapy at doses of 0.065 mg/kg per day (group 2, n= 4), 0.13 mg/kg per day (group 3, n= 4), or 0.2 mg/kg per day (group 4, n= 4), administered subcutaneously, on postoperative days 0 to 14.Results.Group 1 consisted of untreated control recipients, all of which developed advanced graft rejection after surviving for an average of 6.5±0.6 days. LF 15-0195 treatment significantly prolonged graft survival in groups 2, 3, and 4, to 20±20 days, 49±5 days, and 39±4 days, respectively. Animals in groups 3 and 4 demonstrated no evidence of rejection during LF 15-0195 treatments. The animals maintained stable renal function for 2 weeks after LF 15-0195 withdrawal but gradually developed rejection at 5 to 6 weeks. Pathologic studies demonstrated that vascular graft rejection was attenuated in LF 15-0195-treated allografts, compared with control specimens. These groups also demonstrated transient reductions in lymphocyte counts during treatment, which returned to normal levels 2 weeks after LF 15-0195 withdrawal. Total serum concentrations of IgM and IgG decreased by a mean of 20.4% and a mean of 31.4%, respectively, at the end of LF 15-0195 treatment (postoperative day 14). LF 15-0195 did not significantly alter thrombocyte counts or hemoglobin levels. Necropsy studies showed no evidence of drug toxicity in the heart, liver, spleen, intestines, stomach, or colon.Conclusions.LF 15-0195 monotherapy significantly prolonged renal allograft survival in monkeys. These encouraging data suggest that this novel agent may be of future value in clinical transplantation.
