Revertant cells, which can be isolated from transformed cells, are flat, non-transformed variants that have contributed to the elucidation of mechanisms involved in cell transformation. We have discovered that a novel styryl diphenylamine derivative converts human fibrosarcoma HT1080 cells into revertant cells. This compound induces flat cell morphology and causes a decrease in proliferative rate. The flat revertant cells not only exhibit a reduction in saturation density at confluence, but also lose the ability to proliferate in soft agar. Furthermore, their tumorigenicity is reduced when injected s.c. into athymic nude mice. The compound alters morphology in three out of seven cancer cell lines and has a potent growth inhibitory effect in six of these lines. In contrast, it has only low levels of cytotoxicity for three normal diploid cell lines. These findings indicate that this styryl diphenylamine derivative has the potential to suppress the malignant phenotype of cancer cells without profound cytotoxicity in non-transformed cells.
