4,4'-Dihydroxybenzophenone-2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazone (A-007) formed stable double salts with phenothiazin-5-ium salts (2a-d), which have improved in vitro anticancer activities, as compared to A-007 alone. The stable salt between methylene blue (2a) and A-007 allowed the latter to diffuse into the dermis layers of skin. It is anticipated that these new salts will allow A-007 to penetrate into the deep lymphatic/vascular channels of the dermis, which contain metastatic cancer cells, and improve in vivo anticancer activities.

4,4'-Dihydroxybenzophenone-2,4-ditrophenylhydrazone (A-007) has demonstrated anticancer activities, when administered topically to patients with metastatic cancer to the skin. Acute, subacute and subchronic dermal studies with A-007 in adult rabbits, rats, guinea pigs and monkeys failed to demonstrate local or systemic toxicity when applied topically as a 0.25% gel. A-007 did not penetrate the dermal lymphatics and did not produce detectable levels of A-007 in the plasma when applied as a 0.25% gel topically to skin. In the above studies, topically administered A-007 stimulated local sub-epithelial and dermal lymphocyte modulation, with increased CD8+ cytotoxic lymphocytes (CTL) noted, in guinea pig skin. Generally topical A-007 is well tolerated and may have useful immune modulation properties.
