Aromatic polyamidines containing two, three or four benzamidine residues inhibit proteinase activity and proliferation of different human tumor cell lines, including leukemic (K562, HEL), melanoma (Colo 38) and B-lymphoid (WI-L2) cell lines. In addition, the benzamidine derivatives analysed in the present study inhibit cell growth of the Chinese hamster FHO6T1-1 cell line, obtained after transfection of primary lung cells with the activated human T24-Ha-ras-1 oncogene. After treatment of FHO6T1-1 cells with benzamidine derivatives, a sharp decrease of the content of Ha-ras-1 mRNA was found, but not of transferrin receptor mRNA. We found that inhibition of cell proliferation by tetra-benzamidine derivatives is not restricted to tumor cells, but concerns also non-tumorigenic cell lines as well as normal primary fibroblasts. Therefore, our analysis was extended to di- and tri-benzamidine derivatives, which could be proposed as useful substrates in the synthesis of drug-conjugated monoclonal antibodies or growth factors. The data obtained demonstrate that these latter compounds and their halo-derivatives also exhibit strong antiproliferative effects on in vitro cultured cells.
