Six Cancer Research Projects At Purdue Show Complexity Os Problems Os Cancer LAFAYETTE—Six cancer research projects in progress at Purdue University under a $20,000 grant from the American cancer society testify to the complexity of the cancer problem and the ingenuity of the scientists who are attempting to solve it. Two of the projects are concerned with finding and analyzing compounds used to treat cancer; two are concerned with the effects of the growth control substances produced by the body —hormones —on cancer growth; one aims at finding methods of starving cancer cells without injuring normal tissues; and one probes the details of mutation—hereditary changes that are passed on from generation to generation—since such changes may be among the causes of cancer. In the department of chemistry, Dr. J. W. Brewster has discovered that the seeds of poke weed contain a compound which slows the growth of one form of cancer which no other drug has ever effected. Now Dr. Brewster is systematically analyzing this compound in an attempt to identify and concentrate it. If it proves to have undesirable sideeffects in its concentrated form, he hopes to be able to synthesize a drug so similar that it still works against cancer, but sufficiently different so that it avoids

■rl LA. J IRON CURTAIN 'FIRST — Alicja Bobrowska (above) will be the first "Miss Universe” candidate at Long Beach, Calif., to come from behind the Iron Curtain. She’s from Krakow, Poland. Alicja is 21, a honey blonde, 5-feet-5, and sports girths of 35-23-35. (International) the side-effects. In the schoolof pharmacy. Dr. John E. Christian is studying a group of chemicals contained by several anti-cancer drugs in an attempt to learn why this chemical group, or icn, is so effective. In this study he is applying automatic electrical techniques of analysis known as polarography. (These techniques are proving so promising that they may end up as our newest and most rapid;

screening method for anti-cancer compounds.) In the school of veterinary j science and the department of animal husbandry, Drs. F. N. Andrews and G. D. Goetsch are studying the effects of sex hormones on cancer development in cows and swine. Forty per cent of known cancer in women is located in the reproductive organs, whereas cattle and swine rarely develop cancer of the reproductive organs. Drs. Andrews and Goetsch believe this difference might be caused by the difference between low sex hormone production in cattle and swine and high production of these hormones in women. To test this theory they are injecting animals with regular doses of sex hormones, then checking to see whether cancers I arise. If they do, the scientists j ! say we will have strong addition-; lai evidence that sex hormones. I are often implicated in causing i cancer. _ In the department of biological sciences, Dr. M. X. Zarrow is studying the effects of these hormones on the growth of the uterus, or womb, in several different': species of animals. He hopes to Jle.-(rn-4vhy.J,he—uterus--stops_growj I ing beyond a certain point even; though these hormones . continue it <whereas cancers keep growing.) In addition, Dr. Zarrow is studying other sex hormones which have slowed the growth of some cancers-, The aim _of this work is. .the discovery of- some compound with little activity as a sex hormone but with strong ac-; tivity as an anti-cancer drug. Also in the department of biological sciences, Dr. Henry Koffler is searching for differences between the membranes; that surround various cells, .if such dis-; ferences exist, it might be possible to trick certain cells (for; example cancer cells) into using the wrong chemicals to build their;

cell membrances without harming other cells (such as normal body cells). This might be done by providing chemicals so similar to those the cancer cells need for their membranes that they accept them in place of the necessary compounds—and yet so different that the cancer cells cannot really use them. (This type of “competitive inhibition” is what makes sulfa drugs work against bacterial infections.) The genetic approach to the cancer problem is being taken by Dr. A. B. Burdick of the department of ciological sciences. He is studying the changes in heredity caused by a chemical known as EDTA. Scientists, know that this chemical makes cells sensitive to agents which cause mutations—but according to their picture of the molecule on which it acts, it should be unable to do so. Dr. Burdick believes that the current picture of the molecule which carries hereditary information is incomplete. He suspects that there is calcium or a similar chemical in the molecule, although it has never been found there yet. If his current research is successful, it will help modify the current model of the hereditary material, thereby improving our basic understanding of how life is handed on. Dr. Burdick is also studying the effects of x-rays upon mutations. It is known that these radiations may cause cancer as well as causing mutations. It is also known that most cancercausing agents also cause mutations and vice versa. As a result, any\ research along these lines may nave direct connection with the cancer problem, Purdue scientists believe.
