The antitumor activity of the sea snake venom (Lapemis curtus) was evaluated against Ehrlich's ascites carcinoma (EAC) in Swiss albino mice and HeLa and Hep2 tumor cell cultures. Among the different doses tested, 6.50 microg/ml at 24 h was found to effectively inhibit cancer cell proliferation. The same dose on EAC-bearing mice by i.p. injection significantly reduced the tumor growth and was demonstrated by increased life span of the mice by 201.25%.
评估了海蛇(短尾海蛇)毒液对瑞士白化小鼠的艾氏腹水癌(EAC)以及HeLa和Hep2肿瘤细胞培养物的抗肿瘤活性。在测试的不同剂量中,发现24小时时6.50微克/毫升可有效抑制癌细胞增殖。通过腹腔注射给予荷EAC小鼠相同剂量可显著降低肿瘤生长,并且小鼠的寿命延长了201.25%,证明了这一点。
