چکیده
The combined effect of Epirubicin (EPI) and Tamoxifen (TAM) on growth kinetics of Ehrlich Ascites Tumor cells (EAT) was investigated in vivo. In the present study, an estrogen receptor positive ER (+) hyper diploid cell lines were studied. Optimum doses of EPI and TAM (110mg and 20mg, respectively) were used. Cells were treated with these doses for 5 and 9 days. The proliferation of EAT cells growing in vivo is inhibited by EPI and TAM concentrations. The results showed that combination of EPI with TAM decreased the H-thymidine labeling index more effectively than did either drug alone (p<0.05). EPI+TAM treatment’s showed a maximum synergistic effect on day 5 and 9, thus inhibition of DNA synthesis was not changed by days. As a result, day factor is eliminated in combined treatment is the most important result of our study.

The aim of the present study is to evaluate the antitumor effect and antioxidant role of Mucuna pruriens (Family: Fabaceae) against EAC bearing Swiss albino mice. The effect of methanol extract of Mucuna pruriens (MEMP) on tumor growth and hosts survival time was studied by the following parameters: tu-mor volume, packed cell volume, viable and non-viable cell count and life span of the host. M...

During this period the % nonviable Ehrlich ascites tumor cells did not change. Autoradiographic studies during the first 14 days of Ehrlich ascites tumor growth dem onstrated no decrease in the % tumor cells incorporating tritiated uridine, proline, phen...
