[Effects of cortiphen on human tumor strains transplanted into athymic mice and rats]. 1990

I K Bukharova, and E S Revazova, and L V Moroz

The antitumour activity of cortiphen synthesized at the All-Union Cancer Research Centre of the USSR Academy of Medical Sciences was studied on human tumour strains transplanted into nude mice and rats. Cortiphen was found to possess an expressed activity to kidney cancer, cancer of corpus uteri, chorionepithelioma, fibrosarcoma. Two strains of colon adenocarcinoma out of three have displayed an expressed sensitivity to cortiphen, while melanoma and Jewing sarcoma strains proved to be weakly sensitive to the preparation.

D009374	Neoplasms, Experimental	Experimentally induced new abnormal growth of TISSUES in animals to provide models for studying human neoplasms.	Experimental Neoplasms,Experimental Neoplasm,Neoplasm, Experimental
D009588	Nitrogen Mustard Compounds	A group of alkylating agents derived from mustard gas, with the sulfur replaced by nitrogen. They were formerly used as toxicants and vesicants, but now function as antineoplastic agents. These compounds are also powerful mutagens, teratogens, immunosuppressants, and carcinogens.

D011923	Rats, Nude	A mutant strain of Rattus norvegicus without a thymus and with depressed or absent T-cell function. This strain of rats may have a small amount of hair at times, but then lose it.	Athymic Rats,Nude Rats,Rats, Athymic,Athymic Rat,Nude Rat,Rat, Athymic,Rat, Nude
D002822	Choriocarcinoma	A malignant metastatic form of trophoblastic tumors. Unlike the HYDATIDIFORM MOLE, choriocarcinoma contains no CHORIONIC VILLI but rather sheets of undifferentiated cytotrophoblasts and syncytiotrophoblasts (TROPHOBLASTS). It is characterized by the large amounts of CHORIONIC GONADOTROPIN produced. Tissue origins can be determined by DNA analyses: placental (fetal) origin or non-placental origin (CHORIOCARCINOMA, NON-GESTATIONAL).	Choriocarcinomas
