The alkaloid camptothecin uncouples the growth and adivision of chick embryo cells. At a moderate dose (0.5 microgram/ml) it inhibits the incorporation of thymidine but not of uridine and leucine and the cell protein content increases and reaches twice that of control after 4 days of treatment. Twelve hours after addition of the drug, the activities per cell of the mitochondrial enzymes poly A hydrolase (EC 3.1. 4.21), cytochrome c oxidase (EC 1.9.3.1), and succinate dehydrogenase (EC 1.3.99.1) are greater than that of the control and keep increasing for at least 96 H. The increase in the activities of the mitochondrial enzymes precede that of NADPH-cytochrome c reductase (EC 1.6.2.4) and cytidine triphosphatase (EC 3.6.1.15), which are microsomal and plasma membranes enzymes respectively. Actinomycin D (0.01 microgram/ml) also inhibits the multiplication of the chick cells and the synthesis of DNA. The protein content of the actinomycin D treated cells decreases to 70% of the control by day 2. Nevertheless, the activities of the mitochondrial enzymes increase over that of the control but to a smaller extent that with camptothecin. The activities of the enzymes of the other organelles are not stimulated. Camptothecin at a higher dose (5.0 microgram/ml) induces effects similar to those of actinomycin D.

Thyrotropin releasing-hormone (TRH) increased the activity of cytrochrome C oxidase in a concentration of 0.01 and 1.0 microgram/ml in the adenohypophysis of rats fed methylthiouracil for 6 weeks. This effect of TRH on the activity of the enzyme was blocked with T4 added to the incubation medium in a concentration of 20 microgram/ml. Actinomycin D (20 MICrogram/ml) prevented the block of the enzyme with thyroxin. In a concentration of 0.01 microgram/ml TRH, and in a concentration of 2.0 microgram/ml T4 failed to change the activity of cytochrome oxidase in the adenohypophysis of normal and partially thyroidectomized rats.

Actinomycin D prevents the full development in a 24-hour period of both wound respiration and cyanide resistance only when given in the first 10 to 12 hours following the cutting of potato tuber (Solanum tuberosum var. Russet) slices. The capacity for choline incorporation into phosphatidylcholine increases with slice aging and is inhibited by actinomycin D in the same time-restricted way. The time-restricted effectiveness of actinomycin D applies to the cutting-elicited enhanced synthesis of three critical enzymes of phosphatidylcholine synthesis, namely phosphorylcholine-glyceride transferase, phosphorylcholine-cytidyl transferase, and phosphatidylphosphatase. By contrast, actinomycim D given at any time is without effect on the measurable levels after 24 hours of a selection of glycolytic and mitochondrial respiratory enzymes. Neither succinic dehydrogenase nor cytochrome oxidase activity increases with time in aging potato slices in the presence or absence of chloramphenicol. The foregoing observations emphasize the central role of phospholipid, and ultimately membrane biosynthesis, in the development of wound-induced respiration.
