Effects produced by intratumor or systemic application of FK-156 (N-[Na-(.gamma.-D-glutamyl)-L-lysyl]-D-alanine) and its synthetic derivatives on the syngeneic [leukemia] P388-DBA/2 mouse system were investigated. Among 21 compounds tested, FK-156, FK-565 (gludapcin), FR-46758 (heptanoyl-D-glutamyl-[D-(4-amino-5-hydroxypentyl)-L-glycyl]-D-alanine), FR-48217 (lauryl-L-alanyl-D-glutamyl-L-.alpha.,.epsilon.-diaminopimelyl-D-alanine), (FR-46091 (stearyl-D-glutamyl-L-.alpha.,.epsilon.-diaminopimelyl-L-glycine) and FR-47920 (stearyl-D-glutamyl-L-.alpha.,.epsilon.-diaminopimelic acid) substantially suppressed tumor growth when directly injected into a tumor mass and further experiments showed that FK-156, FK-565 and FR-46758 were effective even when administered s.c. into site remote from tumor. The mechanisms of growth inhibition are strongly suggested to be host mediated, because these 3 compounds have remarkably low cytotoxicity against P388 cells in vitro. A single dose of FK-565 markedly decreased body weight in healthy DBA/2 mice, whereas FK-156 and FR-46758 did not. These results indicate the superiority of FK-156 and FR-46758 as immunotherapeutic agents over FK-565 with respect to their safety for treatment of cancer. Although significant life-span prolongation could not be seen in the 2-injection regimen of 6 compounds in either system, systemic multiple injections of FK-156 and FR-46758 provided a statistically significant increase in the median survival time of P388 tumor-bearing mice.
