Abstract:
OBJECTIVE:To observe the synergism and attenuation of Fermented Radix Astragali Powder(FAP)on Cyc-lophosphamide(Cy),a tumor chemotherapeutics,and to explore more economical and effective assistant chemotherapeutics.METHODS:In synergism experiments,the mice tumor models(S180 and H22 solid tumor and H22 ascitic tumor)were used to observe the effects of FAP combined with Cy on tumor control rate and survival time of mice.In attenuation experiments,the effects of FAP against toxic reactions including myelosuppression,atrophy of immune organs,and lesions on renal function induced by high dose of Cy in mice were observed.RESULTS:FAP did enhanced the the antitumor effect of Cy on S180 and H22 solid tumor,lessened Cy-induced toxic reactions such as aleucocytosis,the reduction of the nucleated cells in bone marrow and the weight loss of spleen in mice,meanwhile,it showed protective effect on renal function yet without no significant influence on hepatic function.CONCLUSION:FAP has synergistic and attenuation effects on Cy.
