Effect of purinergic receptor antagonists suramin and theobromine on tumor-induced angiogenesis in BALB/c mice

M Gil et al. Folia Biol (Praha). 1993.

Abstract

The purinergic receptor antagonists suramin (SRN) and theobromine (TBR) were examined for their anti-angiogenic activity in BALB/c mice. SRN or TBR were subcutaneously administered to BALB/c mice in doses of 1-125 mg/kg body weight on days 0, 1 and 2 after intradermal inoculation of E14/W lung carcinoma cells. It was shown that SRN and TBR inhibited tumor-related angiogenesis. Accordingly, it may be suggested that purinoceptor antagonists may inhibit neovascularization in tumor growth and metastasis.
