Abstract<br />

The effect <strong>of</strong> different doses <strong>of</strong> adriamycin (ADM), was investigated in vitro <strong>and</strong> in vivo, in Ehrlich ascites tumor<br />

(EAT) cells which developed in the peritoneal cavity <strong>of</strong> mice. In the in vivo experiments it was found that injection<br />

<strong>of</strong> ADM as 10 mg/g i.p. prolonged the survival period <strong>of</strong> mice. In the in vitro experiments, treatment <strong>of</strong><br />

ADM in 2, 4 <strong>and</strong> 6 mg/ml doses, it was observed that cytotoxic effect dependent on time occurred in<br />

tumor cells.<br />

Introduction<br />

ADM, being an anthracycline antibiotic, has a large<br />

spectrum <strong>of</strong> antitumor activity. Clinically, it was<br />

administered to various tumors singly or with other<br />

antitumor antibiotics (Sipahio¤lu, 1981). Different<br />

results have been obtained from ADM when<br />

administered in different doses both clinically <strong>and</strong> in<br />

laboratory experiments. In an experiment performed<br />

with HeLa cells, a significant decrease in the number<br />

<strong>of</strong> surviving cells occurred depending on the dose <strong>of</strong><br />

applied ADM (Jagetia <strong>and</strong> Nayak, 1996).<br />

Experiments on the effective mechanism <strong>of</strong> ADM<br />

to tumor cells were also done. It was reported that it<br />

had the highest impact on DNA; DNA replication,<br />

transcription <strong>and</strong> repair were effected. It was also<br />

shown that it inhibited protein synthesis (Saraswathi<br />

et al., 1997). ADM interacts with cell membrane <strong>and</strong><br />

by affecting the processes such as lectin interaction,<br />

phospholipid’s structure <strong>and</strong> organization, fluidity<br />

<strong>and</strong> transportation <strong>of</strong> small molecules <strong>and</strong> ions in the<br />

cell membrane causes cytotoxicity (Tritton <strong>and</strong> Yee,<br />

1982).<br />

During the application <strong>of</strong> ADM in high doses<br />

clinically, its side effects on the patients have been<br />

observed (Sipahio¤lu, 1981). In an experiment, it was<br />

observed that the administration <strong>of</strong> 20 mg/kg ADM<br />

increased the microsomal lipid peroxidation level in<br />

rats which was found to be related with toxicity<br />

induced by ADM. For this reason, when ADM is used<br />

at high doses, it was administered with drugs which<br />

decrease microsomal lipid peroxidation (Shinozawa<br />
