Sequential administration of α‐difluoromethyl ornithine and methylglyoxal bis(guanylhydrazone), two differently acting inhibitors of the biosynthesis of natural polyamines, produced a rapid and distinct therapeutic response in four children with advanced lymphoblastic and in one with myeloblastic leukemia. The synergism between the action of the two compounds was based upon a unique drug interaction; a preceding treatment with difluoromethyl ornithine greatly increased the uptake of subsequently administered methylglyoxal bis‐(guanylhydrazone) as verified by the actual determinations of the latter drug in the circulating leukemia cells. The side‐effects associated with the combined drug regimen were either absent or mild.
