Action against Disease Model | Lonidamine | Drug Info | Lonidamine is an anticancer drug that has its primary action on cellular metabolism rather than cell division. Since lonidamine is not effective in all t uMor cells, we have tested it in two h uMan-t uMor cell culture lines: MOLT-4, a T-leukemia and U-87 MG, a glioma. Lonidamine exposure of MOLT-4 cells at 50 micrograms/mL and pH 6.7 disrupted the mitochondria within 1 h of treatment. The mitochondria were swollen and the cristae were disrupted. When the treated cells were re-incubated in fresh medi uM at pH 7.4 the mitochondria rapidly returned to their normal morphology. | [1] | |
