ABSTRACT

Objective To study the function of atractylodes macrocephala koidz volatile oil for transplanted tumor in animals. Methods The animal model of transplanted tumor-ECA was used. The anti-tumor function of atractylodes macrocephala koidz volatile oil was observed. Results Atractylodes macrocephala koidz volatile oil can suppress ECA when given at 100 mg/kg and 50 mg/kg doses into abdominal cavity. When a larger dose at 150 mg/kg was given, the life-span of mice can extended to 197 %. Conclusion Atractylodes macrocephala koidz volatile oil can suppress tumor effectively.
