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]
