The serum concentrations of Ara-C are in the range from 10(-6) to 10(-8) M in LD-Ara-C treated patients. The growth of CFU-GM from bone marrow of healthy volunteers was depressed depending on Ara-C-concentration applied in vitro. The growth of CFU-L from peripheral blood of two patients with AML (M 2) and one patient with CML in blast crisis was differently influenced by Ara-C-application in vitro. An elevated proportion of mature cells was observed in smears of cultured cells with Ara-C from two patients. The usefulness of Ara-C for a differentiation inducing therapy is discussed.
