Abstract

See full text

O.sup.6 -substituted guanine compounds of the formula ##STR1## wherein R is a benzyl group or a substituted benzyl group, cause a depletion of O.sup.6 -alkylguanine-DNA alkyltransferase (AGT) activity in mammalian cells. These compounds may be administered to a host so as to reduce AGT levels in tumor cells of the host in order to increase host responsiveness to anti-neoplastic alkylating agents, including chloroethylating agents, such as chloroethylnitrosoureas, for chemotherapeutic treatment of a number of neoplasms.
