Abstract
Studies of peculiarities of acetylation with the use of sulfadimidine showed the distribution of female white non-bred mice in 2 groups, with high and low activity. In C3H/He mice a relatively high activity of sulfadimidine acetylation was observed, while in C57Bl/He mice a low activity of acetylation was noted. The growth of transplanted melanoma B-16 in C57Bl/He mice and sarcoma 37 and sarcoma 180 in non-bred mice resulted in an increased activity of sulfadimidine acetylation. The use of w-sodium methylpantothenate (and antagonist of pantothenic acid) failed to increase the activity of sulfadimidine acetylation and inhibited the tumor growth.
