Daunomycin was coupled to dextrans of various molecular sizes. Binding to dextran carriers augmented the therapeutic efficacy of the antitumor agent in a murine lymphoma line (YAC). When treatment with the drug or its conjugates was given concomitantly with tumor cells at separate sites, the unbound drug was able, at its optimally effective doses, to prevent tumors in 40% of mice, whereas the drug-dextran was efficient in 80% of mice. The advantage of the drug-dextran over the free drug was also manifested when treatment was given 6 days after tumor transplantation. A further delay of treatment resulted in a decrease in potency of the drug-dextran. Similar behavior was observed when increasing tumor loads were transplanted (105-108 cells) and when treatment was administered immediately. The most favorable effect of the drug-dextran was obtained with 107 cells, but against 108 cells neither the free drug nor the bound one was effective.
