    Abstract:
    The activity of 2-beta-D-ribofuranosylthiazole-4-carboxamide (tiazofurin) was determined in nine untreated human ovarian cancer specimens, using the murine subrenal capsule xenograft assay. Tumor cytotoxic effect was demonstrated in seven out of the nine tumors implanted. The drug was well tolerated by the test animals. Tiazofurin may prove to be an effective chemotherapeutic agent in the treatment of ovarian cancer.
