Inhibitory Effect of Hydroxycamptothecin on C6 Gliomas Cells / 中国药房

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the inhibitory effect of hydroxycamptothecin (HCPT) on C6 gliomas cells in rats. METHODS: The cytotoxicity of HCPT at different concentration(1～0.031 25 mg?mL-1) on C6 in vitro was measured by MTT with conventional therapy for C6 gliomas cells as control. Meanwhile,the antitumor effect of O-HCPT(open ring form) and that of C-HCPT(closed ring form) were compared. RESULTS: At a high concentration,HCPT showed an inhibition ratio of as high as(69.43?4.5)% on C6 gliomas cells in concentration-dependent manner,showing no significant differences as compared with control. The antitumor effect of O-HCPT was lower than that of C-HCPT,and their IC50 were 3.626 mg?mL-1 and 0.135 mg?mL-1,respectively. CONCLUSION: HCPT had remarkable inhibitory effect on C6,and the antitumor effect of C-HCPT is potent than that of O-HCPT.
