Biochanin A, an isoflavone compound, is reported to have an inhibitory effect on benzo(a)pyrene [B(a)P] metabolism. We examined the modifying effect of biochanin A on in vivo carcinogenesis using a mouse lung tumor model. As carcinogens, a single subcutaneous injection of 0.5mg of B(a)P was given within 24 hours after birth. The test groups were injected with 0.125mg of biochanin A in 0.1ml DMSO by i.p. 3 times a week for 6 weeks after weaning. All mice were sacrificed at week 9 and the incidence and multiplicity of lung tumors were examined. Concomitant administration of biochanin A showed a significant inhibitory effect on the incidence of tumor-bearing mice (12.5%, P < 0.01), as well as the mean number of tumors (0.13, P < 0.001), compared with the group treated with B(a)P alone in which the incidence was 57.1% and the mean number was 1.0. These results suggest that biochanin A has inhibitory potential on the development of mouse lung tumor induced by B(a)P.

D015994 Incidence The number of new cases of a given disease during a given period in a specified population. It also is used for the rate at which new events occur in a defined population.

D016019 Survival Analysis A class of statistical procedures for estimating the survival function (function of time, starting with a population 100% well at a given time and providing the percentage of the population still well at later times). The survival analysis is then used for making inferences about the effects of treatments, prognostic factors, exposures, and other covariates on the function.
