Free Abstract

Thippeswamy G et al. - These results showed that octacosanol (i) inhibits proliferation of endothelial cells and Ehrlich ascites tumor cells, (ii) inhibits neovascularization induced by angiogenic factors in chick chorioallantoic membrane and rat cornea in vivo angiogenesis assays, (iii) inhibits secretion of ascites fluid in the growing tumor cells in vivo. Concerning the mechanism of action, octacosanol inhibited secretion of vascular endothelial growth factor into ascites fluid by the tumor cells.
