On the inhibitory activities of a new boron compound and ultrasound against the mouse ascites tumour.

The inhibitory effects of a new boron compound, dihydroxy (oxybiguanido) boron (III) hydrochloride monohydrate (HB), and ultrasound (US) of a frequency 25 kHz on the growth of ascites tumour in female Swiss mice were studied by monitoring the survival, weight of tumour-associated material, tumour cell count, serum alkaline phosphatase activity and the haematological parameters of the treated animals. 5-Fluorouracil (5-FU), a well-known anticancer agent, was used as positive control. While HB exhibited a very significant antitumour action, US alone produced a small but significant inhibitory effect. The combination of US with HB or 5-FU produced an extra antitumour action as compared to the actions of these chemicals used singly. The mechanisms of action of the new boron compound (HB) and US are discussed.

A new boron compound (guanidine biboric acid adduct) as an antitumour agent against Ehrlich ascites carcinoma in mice.

The inhibitory effects of a new boron compound of guanidine biboric acid adduct (GB) and guanidium chloride (L1) on the growth of ascites tumour in female Swiss mice were studied by monitoring the survival, tumour weight, tumour cell count, transplantability of Ehrlich ascites cells, precursor incorporation and the haematological parameters of the treated mice. 5-Fluorouracil, a known anticancer drug, was used as a positive control. The most important parameter was the survival time, which increased significantly when tumour-bearing mice were treated with the boron compound. Haematological parameters of the treated animals showed minimum toxic effects when boron was coupled with guanidine.
