Tumorigenic effect of thioacetamide in Swiss strain mice.

Male and female Swiss strain mice were put on a 0.03% thioacetamide diet at the age of 2 months. Control mice were kept on a stock diet. Control and treated mice were killed at the ages of 6, 9, 13 and 17 months. Progressive morphological, histological and biochemical alterations in the liver and tumour tissue of the treated mice were studied. In the 17-month-old group, 12 out of 13 treated mice developed hepatomas.

Toxicological study of Semecarpus anacardium nut extract.

Toxicological study was carried out in rats with chloroform-soluble fraction of the nuts of Semecarpus anacardium to determine its safe non-toxic dose. The fraction produced toxicity at all levels tested (50-400 mg/kg) but the extent of toxicity was found dose-dependent. At lower doses this fraction induced partial growth inhibition over 36 days and higher doses proved fatal within 6 days. It was observed that 230 mg/kg caused 50% mortality in rats and this value is 1380 mg/m2 when expressed for body surface area. This work will be of some use in the cancer chemotherapy study of the fraction.
