UMI films the text directly from the original or copy submitted. Thus, some thesis and dissertation copies are in typewriter face, while others may be from any type of computer printer. The quality of this reproduction is dependent upon the quality of the copy submitted. Broken or indistinct print, colored or poor quality illustrations and photographs, print bleedthrough, substandard margins, and improper alignment can adversely affect reproduction.

Gillies, for his support and supervision of this research. I thank Dr. Gillies for his mentoring, providing both support and guidance during our many scientific discussions about this project. I would also like to thank my committee members for all of their advice during committee meetings; Dr. William Bellamy, Dr. Charles Taylor, Dr. Harris Bernstien, and Dr. Janet Decker. I would particularly like to Dr. Bellamy and Dr. Taylor for providing helpful discussions and technical assistance for this work. I would like to thank the entire Gillies laboratory for the lively intellectual discussions and useful technical advice during weekly lab meetings. I especially thank Brenda Baggett for her technical assistance over the years; Dr. Paul Schornack and Charles Fahr for their input on my research during our group meetings; Dr. Natarajan Raghunand for his assistance with the NMR and animal studies; and Xi He, Dr. Natarajan Raghunand, Dr. Paul Schornack, Charles Fahr, Dave Morse and Dr. Nancy Aiken for their contributions during discussions about this work. I would like to thank Anne Cione and Merry Warner for providing secretarial assistance. I would also like to acknowledge Ron Lynch and Jesse Martinez for their helpful advice during scientific discussions. I thank all of my colleagues in the Arizona Cancer Center for making the basement an enjoyable place to work. 5 DEDICATION To my parents Brian and Linda Mahoney and my wife Dr. Paula Inserra-Mahoney. Your love, encouragement, guidance and support will never be forgotten, I would also like to dedicate this dissertation to my grandmother Angela Mahoney who passed away form pancreatic cancer February 7, 1999. 6 TABLE OF CONTENTS LIST OF FIGURES 9 ABSTRACT 15 I - INTRODUCTION - A REVIEW OF THE LITERATURE 17 A) An Overview of Breast Cancer 17 B) Chemotherapy and Breast Cancer 19 C) Characterization of Chemotherapeutic Drugs and their pH Dependent Behavior.— 21 i) Doxorubicin 22 ii) Daunorubicin 30 iii) Mitoxantrone 35 iv) Paclitaxel 41 V) Vincristine „..4 6 vi) Vinblastine 50 vii) Cyclophosphamide 5 5 viii) Chlorambucil 62 ix) 5-Fluorouracil 67 D) Tumor pH - Observations and Measurements.— 73 E) Causes of Acidic Tumor pH 75 F) Modulators of Tumor pH in vivo. 77 G) Consequences of Tumor Acidity 78 H) Ionizing Radiation Therapy and Tumor pH 81 I) Hypothermic Therapy and Tumor pH 83 J) Tumor pH as a Novel Therapeutic Target 85 K) Cancer Genes and Tumor pH 87 L) V-ATPase Can Inhibit Apoptosis 88 M) Apoptosis and Cell Cycle Blockade 89 II - MATERIALS AND METHODS 92 a) Cell and Tiomor Growth 92 b) Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy 92 c) Measurement of Octanol Partition Coeffecient94 d) Measurement of Intracellular pH In Vitro. 95 e) D r\xg Upta ice..H.».......»..*.».......•...... *96 f) Drug Cytotoxicity 97 7 g) Calculation of Theoretical Drug Distributions 97 h) Tumor Growth Statistics 98 i) Doxorubicin Biodistribution in MCF-7 Mammary Tumor Bearing SCID Mice 99 j) Doxorubicin Biodistribution in C3H Mammary Tumor Bearing C3H/hen Mice 102 k) Mitoxantrone Biodistribution in C3H Mammary Tumor Bearing C3H/hen Mice 104 1) C3H/hen Mouse-C3H Mammary Carcinoma Model. 106 m) Gavage Administration of NaHC03/NH4Cl 107 n) Intraperitoneal Administration of NaHCOa/Glucose 107 o) Localized in vivo MR Spectroscopy 108 p) Chemotherapy 109 III - ION TRAPPING AND THE CHEMOTHERAPEUTIC CONSEQUENCES OF EXTRACELLULAR pH MODULATION IN VITRO...
