Isothermal microcalorimetry was used in order to continuously monitor and quantitatively assess the action of two antineoplastic drugs, methotrexate (MTX) and 6-thioguanine (6-TG), on a human T-lymphoma cell line, CCRF-CEM. The results with MTX were compared with data from experiments with a MTX-resistant subline, CEM/MTX. The slope of the power-time curve after drug injection relative to that obtained during unperturbed growth, was used to construct dose-response curves. The normal cell line was characterized by a D50 value (i.e., the dose producing half the maximal response) of 0.05 microM for MTX and 0.38 microM for 6-TG. For the MTX-resistant subline the D50 value was 8 microM of MTX. Comparisons of the continuous power-time curves showed the inhibitory effect of 6-TG to be faster than that of MTX.
