    Abstract:
    Numerous studies have shown that phenethyl isothiocyanate (PEITC) induces apoptosis of different types of human cancer cell lines, however, there are no reports showing that PEITC inhibits tumor growth in a xenograft model of melanoma in nude mice. We investigated effects of PEITC on the growth of xenografted A375.S2 cell tumors in nude BALB/c mice. A375.S2 cancer cells were inoculated subcutaneously into the lower flanks of mice. Seven days post-inoculation, mice having one palpable tumor were randomly divided into three groups and injected intraperitoneally with PEITC (0, 20 and 40 mg/kg). PEITC reduced tumor weight but total body weight was unaffected. These in vivo results provide support for further investigations to determine the potential use of PEITC as an anticancer drug.
