Abstract

IC50 for a novel antibiotic against mouse hepatoma H22 was determined to be 0.019 μg/mL by MTT assays. In KM mice bearing this kind of tumor that was treated by s.c. injection of antibiotic BS, marked cures were obtained. In terms of tumor weight, the treated/control=0.35. The conclusion is that BS merit further investigation as a potential anti-cancer candidate drug.
