Thomas opened the meeting with introductions. led Dr. Good (Sloan Kettering) reviewed the scientific question of interest to Sloan Kettening. He emphasized: It is hard to identify Laetrile as a compound; one ‘can only work with amygdalin. b. There is inmense enotion assoicated with this drug. Studies of amygdalin are a small. part of Sloan Kettering program. Dr. Old enphasized that Leetrile is emygdalin not the glucuronid of mandelonitrite. There is a theoretical rationale for enyadalini selective release of CN (cyanide) intracellularly. Amygdalin is one of a series of cyanogenic glycosides. (They would like to study other menters of this group not just a in. Sloan Kettering would Ti! to test these drugs in spontansous tumors not just experimentally derived tumors, 8-giucasicases are found in mi tissues. Cancer cells are said to have high clucosidase levels. Normal cells are said to have low glucosidase levels. The rat kidney has a high level of 8-glucosidase but does not break down amygdalin to release cyanide. The oral route of administration of amygdalin(a) is much more toxic than the parenteral because the intestinal bacteria break down amygdalin to release cyanide(CX). This is shown by use of en- vironmentally protected raised animals who do not haroor bacteria in the intestine. The oral route in these animals is no more toxic than the parenteral. )* , Dr. Old presented some possible research approaches to study the con- cept that a CN donor might be en anti-tumor egent. Dr. Old has written to several world users of Leetrile, including Drs. Contreras and Niepes and others. He found two groups (1) Those who used it end found it of value (i.e. Contreras) and (2) Those who had not used it and did not believe in it. ‘ " Dr. Old fi administra? break down. 1s that amygdalin is 2s non-toxic as glucose, although oral ‘on increases toxicity due to CN release from bacterial
