TL;DR
7-Methylguanine (7-MG) was found to inhibit colon cancer growth in mice by penetrating tumor tissue and suppressing tumor development.
Contribution
The study demonstrates the in vivo efficacy of 7-MG in suppressing colon cancer in two distinct mouse models.
Findings
7-MG effectively penetrates tumor tissue in mice.
7-MG suppresses colon adenocarcinoma growth in the Akatol mouse model.
7-MG inhibits tumor growth in a xenograft model with human HCT116 cells.
Abstract
7-Methylguanine (7-MG) is a natural inhibitor of poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase 1 and tRNA-guanine transglycosylase, the enzymatic activity of which is central for the proliferation of cancer cells. Recently, a number of preclinical tests have demonstrated the safety of 7-MG and a regimen of intragastric administration was established in mice. In the present work, the pharmacological activity of 7-MG was studied in BALB/c and BALB/c nude mice with transplanted tumors. It was found that 7-MG effectively penetrates tumor tissue and suppresses colon adenocarcinoma growth in the Akatol model, as well as in a xenograft model with human HCT116 cells.
