An experimental approach to the breast cancer, reserpine problem. 1978

F Homburger, and C G van Dongen, and R A Adams, and E A Soto, and K J Pai

Reserpine was administered intraperitoneally 3 times weekly to inbred female Syrian BIO hamsters of the 15.16 strain previously shown to be susceptible to methylcholanthrene (MC) induction of mammary cancer. Other groups of hamsters received non-carcinogenic doses of MC along with the reserpine administrations, and an additional group received a carcinogenic dose of MC alone. This last group demonstrated that BIO 15.6 females were indeed susceptible to MC mammary cancer induction, since 4 mg of MC administered by stomach tube (a total dose of 200 mg) caused mammary cancer in 52% of the animals. Mammary cancer was not observed in any of the animals given reserpine or reserpine in combination with the non-carcinogenic dose of MC.

D012110 Reserpine An alkaloid found in the roots of Rauwolfia serpentina and R. vomitoria. Reserpine inhibits the uptake of norepinephrine into storage vesicles resulting in depletion of catecholamines and serotonin from central and peripheral axon terminals. It has been used as an antihypertensive and an antipsychotic as well as a research tool, but its adverse effects limit its clinical use.
