R. Ueoka et al., Marked therapeutic effect of dimyristoylphosphatidylcholine liposomes on carcinoma mice model in vivo, BIOL PHAR B, 23(10), 2000, pp. 1262-1263
Significantly prolonged survival rate was obtained for the first time using
carcinoma mice models after the administration of single-component liposom
es of dimyristoylphosphatidylcholine (DMPC) without any drug. An increase i
n lymphocytes under optical microscope was observed without ang; increase i
n the neutrophils count, suggesting that the DMPC liposomes might inhibit t
he tumor growth as cell as increase in lymphocytes in vivo.
