Indicine N-oxide, the first pyrrolizidine alkaloid N-oxide to be studied in the treatment of cancer in humans, was administered to ten patients: four children and two adolescents with refractory acute lymphocytic leukemia and four adults with refractory acute nonlymphocytic leukemia (three acute myelocytic, one myelomonocytic).
