title: Inhibition of radiogenic and chemically induced transformation in C3H/10T-1/2 cells by a polyprenoic acid (E-5166).
abstract: Using C3H/10T-1/2 mouse fibroblasts, we tested whether polyprenoic acid (E-5166) inhibits radiogenic and chemically induced transformation in vitro. Our results show that E-5166 markedly inhibits transformation by X rays and benzo[a]pyrene in a dose-related manner. Maximum inhibition was observed when cells were pretreated with E-5166 prior to carcinogen exposure, and lesser inhibition when E-5166 treatment followed carcinogen exposure. These results indicate that E-5166 can serve as a radio-protective and chemopreventive agent with anticarcinogenic potential.
