A fluorescent urinary metabolite, excreted by mice carrying the Ehrlich ascites tumour (EAT), has been identified as 7,8-dihydro-6-hydroxylumazine. This finding agrees with other data which show that a disorder in pteridine metabolism is commonly associated with the presence of malignant growth.

is traditionally known for its medicinal properties. Objectives: Here, we investigated the effects of crude extract (CE) and ethyl acetate fraction (EAF) obtained from leaves on the ascitic (EA) and solid (ES) forms of Ehrlich tumors. : Induced and uninduced BALB/c mice were treated intramuscularly, for 7 or 14 days, with saline solution or CE and EAF, both at a 10% concentration, based on in vitro cytotoxicity assessment.

Numerous chemotherapeutic agents are currently employed in cancer treatment, but many are associated with significant side effects. This study aims to identify a novel anticancer drug that minimizes or eliminates these adverse effects. The anticancer activity of the Rhodium (III) complex cis-[RhLI]I was evaluated through both in vivo and in vitro functional assays.

Two new thiadiazole imidazolium salicylidene Schiff bases (TISSBs) were successfully synthesized, and their structures were analyzed comprehensively using spectroscopic techniques. The results of the MTT assay showed that TISSB2 was the safest and most effective anti-breast cancer agent. The anti-angiogenic activity of TISSB2 was evaluated using tests in Ehrlich ascites carcinoma (EAC)-bearing Swiss albino mice.
