Hydrazine sulfate significantly potentiated the antitumor effect of thiophosphamide in experiments on rats with Walker's tumor. The treatment with hydrazine sulfate (60 mg/kg) plus thiophosphamide (1 mg/kg) resulted in suppression of tumor growth of up to 90%, the dosage of thiophosphamide being therapeutically ineffective. Following hydrazine sulfate treatment, the activity of ATPase (pH: 7.0-7.5-7.75) derived from tumors doubled as compared with control. Similar results were obtained with enzymatic preparations. The activities of DNP[2,4-dinitrophenol]-stimulated ATPase and solubilized enzymes in rat liver were not influenced by treatment.
