Abstract

In our previous studies, two types of isoxazole derivatives weres tested on anticancer activities [1, 2, 3]. In this communication the effect in vivo of the new lead structures applied intraperitoneally on the growth of experimental Lewis lung carcinoma (LLC), transplanted subcutaneously, is presented. We observed the tendency of growth inhibition of LLC cancer by compound R13 with the tumor growth inhibition (TGI) achieving 30%. In the case of other compounds tested (R11, R12, R14 and R15) we observed no effect or stimulation of LLC tumor growth. The increase in life span (ILS%) of mice, which was administered with the compounds was 7-17% and was not statistically significant. Observation of body weight shows no toxicity of compounds tested. In conclusion, we show that compound R13, may inhibit tumor growth. Other compounds in these conditions, may stimulate Lewis lung cancer growth. Our studies on these activities and their potential application are discussed.
