Abstract

Griseofulvin, 12-O-tetradecanoyl phorbol-13-acetate, melittin, epidermal growth factor, vinblastine, cytochalasin B, podophyllotoxin, colcemid, and colchicine were unable to transform cells but could increase from 8- to 40-fold the frequency of cell transformation by polyoma virus. The 3T3-like cells were resting at confluence and were exposed to the drug only during the 1st week after viral infection. Griseofulvin, a tumor promoter, reduced or increased the frequency of transformation depending on the dose with which the infected cells were treated. The antitumor activity of tumor promoters is discussed.
