The effects of 2-chloro-2’-deoxyadenosine (cladribine, 2-CdA) and a closely related compound 2-bromo-2’-deoxyadenosi- ne (2-BdA) on organotypic cultures of human malignant gliomas were studied with the use of electron microscopy. The cultures grown from surgical biopsies included six glioblastomas, three anaplastic astrocytomas and low-grade fibrillary astrocytoma. After 6 to 10 days of the in vitro growth the cultures were exposed to 0.3-10 /iM 2-CdA or 2-BdA for 1 to 10 days. Mitochondrial swelling and disappearance of cristae following exposure to the tested substances were observed, but only in highly anaplastic (low-differentiated) tumor cells. The mitochondrial toxicity was dose- and time-dependent, and no difference was found between the effect of 2-CdA and 2-BdA.
