BACKGROUND: Although DNA-directed alkylating agents and related compounds have
been a mainstay in chemotherapeutic protocols due to their ability to readily
interfere with the rapid mitotic progression of malignant cells, their clinical
utility is limited by DNA repair mechanisms and immunosuppression. However, the
same destructive nature of alkylation can be reciprocated at the cell surface
using novel plasma membrane alkylating agents. RESULTS: Plasma membrane
alkylating agents have elicited long term survival in mammalian models challenged
with carcinomas, sarcomas, and leukemias. Further, a specialized group of plasma
membrane alkylating agents known as tetra-O-acetate haloacetamido carbohydrate
analogs (Tet-OAHCs) potentiates a substantial leukocyte influx at the
administration and primary tumor site, indicative of a potent immune response.
The effects of plasma membrane alkylating agents may be further potentiated
through the use of another novel class of chemotherapeutic agents, known as
dihydroxyacetone phosphate (DHAP) inhibitors, since many cancer types are known
to rely on the DHAP pathway for lipid synthesis. CONCLUSION: Despite these
compelling data, preliminary clinical trials for plasma membrane-directed agents
have yet to be considered. Therefore, this review is intended for academics and
clinicians to postulate a novel approach of chemotherapy; altering critical
malignant cell signaling at the plasma membrane surface through alkylation,
thereby inducing irreversible changes to functions needed for cell survival.
