Etoposide Incorporated into Camel Milk Phospholipids Liposomes Shows Increased Activity against Fibrosarcoma in a Mouse Model

Figure 6

Effects of various formulations of etoposide on benzo(a)pyrene- (BAP-) induced tumors in a mouse model. Treatment of tumor-bearing animals was started when the tumor size reached a volume of approximately 200 mm3. Mice treated with ETP-DPPC-liposomes or ETP-Cam-liposomes showed delayed tumor growth (P < 0.05) as compared with controls (PBS and Sham liposomes). Treatment with ETP-DPPC-liposomes or ETP-Cam-liposomes was superior to free ETP (P < 0.001). Data are values ± SD (n = 10 at initiation of therapy; the number varies at later time points due to mortality).
