Abstract
Summary
Furacin inhibits the growth of mouse sarcoma S-13 in C3H mice. The average survival time of the control mice after implantation of the tumor was 21 days. The average survival time of the furacin-treated mice varied from 29 to 37 days, depending on the amount of the furacin given. Histological examination of the treated tumors reveal some cellular degeneration and a lessened mitotic activity. Hypertrophy of the adrenal cortex and symptoms of B complex vitamin deficiency were observed in the furacin-treated animals.
