Abstract

The effect of skullcapflavon II, 5, 2'- dihydroxy-6, 7, 8, 6'-tetramethoxyflavone, on the growth of transplantable L 1210 and sarcoma 180 tumors in mice was studied. Intraperitional treatment of skullcapflavon II cased a significant (T/C = 166%) and a moderate (T/C = 122 %) prolongations of the life spans of ICR and $BDF_{1}$ mice respectively, which had been intraperitioneally inoculated with sarcoma 180 and L 1210 cells. Peritumoral injection of skullacapflavon II on the solid form of sarcoma 180 in mice inhibited the tumor growth strongly (Inhibition rate = 71%).
