Objective:
To investigate the inhibitory effect of Realgar bioleaching solution (RBS) on tumor S180 cells line and estimate its toxicity, to provide experimental evidence for the further exploit of Realgar.
Methods:
24 hours after the models of ascites-tumor bearing mice were established, the mice were injected RBS once a day. The survival rates of S180 ascites-tumor bearing mice injected in RBS was studied, and the RBS acute toxicity of mice produced by oral, intraperitoneal or intravenous was evaluated by Drug Median Lethal Dose (LD50).
Results:
The inhibitory effect of S180 cells in vivo had a dose-dependent manner. The survival rates of mice were 10% - 60% in the different dose in 15 days. The LD50 values of RBS by oral, intraperitoneal or intravenous were 5.27 mg/kg, 3.63 mg/kg and 2.68 mg/kg, respectively.
Conclusion:
RBS has potent antitumor effect, LD50 value of RBS is lower than that of traditional medicine.
