ABSTRACT
Objective To study the anti-tumor effect of Zhongjiefeng Injection in vitro and its combination with adriamycin.Methods MTT assay was adopted to determine the in-vitro anti-tumor effect,IC50 was used to measure the direct anti-tumor effect,and Jing' s formula was applied to analyze the combination of the drugs.Results Zhongjiefeng Injection can inhibit the proliferation of Bel 7402(human hepatoma cells),HCT-8(human colon cancer cells),and the IC50 was 33.13 mg/mL for Bel 7402 and 52.39 mg/mL for HCT-8 respectively.Zhongjiefeng Injection at the concentrations of 3.125,6.25,12.5 mg/mL showed an efficancy potentiation action with doxorubicin on the inhibition of HCT-8 cells in vitro,and 25,50 mg/mL showed a synergic effect on HCT-8 .Conclusion Zhongjiefeng Injection has a certain in-vitro inhibitory effect on the growth of Bel 7402 and HCT-8,its combination with doxorubicin in vitro can produce synergic effects(a simple combined or enhanced effects)to HCT-8 cells,especially high concentrations of Zhongjiefeng Injection with doxorubicin.It is suggested that Zhongjiefeng Injection in the doubled dosage may have a better synergistic effect with doxorubicin in clinical treatment of colon cancer.
ABSTRACT
AIM: To study the effect of Zhongjiefeng Injection(Herba sarcandrae) on mouse liver cancer H_22,and its activities on gastric cancer SGC-7901 in vitro,to find out its influence on the cell cycle. METHODS: By injecting H_22 tumor cells in vivo into mice to check its inhabition on entity and ascites tumor.MTT colorimetric method was used to study the anti-tumor activity on gastric cancer SGC-7901,then we calculated its IC_50 and applied the flow cytometry(FCM) to detect its influence of cell cycle. RESULTS: The rates of inhabition on H_22 entity tumor with three concentrations were 29.8%,36.2%,40.5%,and was the remarkable different from the model group(P
