Abstract

AIM: To study the antitumor effect of Zhenhuang Injection (ZHI) on the mice bearing transplanted tumor.

METHODS: The solid type of H22 transplantation hepotocarci noma, ascitic type of S-180 sarcoma and ascitic type of LII malignant lymphoma of mice were treated at three doses (crude drug 1.25 g/kg, 2.5 g/kg, 5.0 g/kg of body weight) of ZHI. The solid tumor group and ascitic tumor group were injected intravenously and intraperitoneally. The experiment was repeated three times.

RESULTS: The tumor-inhibition rate of H22 hepatocarcinoma in moderate and large doses was 30.23%-35.67% (P < 0.01) and 46.36%-54.07% (P < 0.01) respectively; the survival rate of ascitic type of S-180 sarcoma and ascitic type of L-II malignant lymphoma in large dose group was 77.23%-86.91% (P < 0.01) and 75.42%-79.04% (P < 0.01), respectively.

CONCLUSION: ZHI has a certain tumor inhibiting effect. Under the tolerant dose, the effect improves with the increase of dose.
