Abstract

TNP-470, an analog of fumagillin, is one of the new angiogenesis inhibitors. Five days after an intraperitoneal inoculation of 10(7) cells of Walker 256 carcinosarcoma to SD rats, TNP-470 was injected intraperitoneally in the form of TNP aqueous solution or TNP-oil solution. Mean survival time of rats given TNP-oil solution or TNP aqueous solution was statistically prolonged, compared with that of the control rats. Our results showed that TNP-470 is an effective therapeutic drug for carcinomatous peritonitis.
