The adrenergic blocking agent methyldopa (Aldomet) is toxic to C-1300 neuroblastoma cells in vivo. Four injections of Aldomet at a dose of 7.5 mg/injection were given over a period of 24 hr to C-1300 neuroblastoma-bearing mice. This treatment killed a significant proportion of the C-1300 neuroblastoma cells. Flow cytometric data suggest that sensitivity of tumor cells to Aldomet is not related to the cell cycle.
