Abstract
Two new approaches of interstitial (intratumoral) chemotherapy of gliomas are presented. Using s.c.-transplanted rat gliomas (G616) the therapeutic activity of biologically degradable polylactide rods as carriers for methotrexate was investigated. Carrier-mediated intratumoral chemotherapy was superior both to a systemic treatment and an intratumoral treatment with the free drug. The activity of the alkyllysophospholipids Et-18-OCH3 and BM 41.440 and of the alkylphosphocholine He-PC was investigated in a human glioma xenograft (T 406). All three compounds were highly active following intratumoral administration.Entities:
