[Inhibition of tumor invasion and metastasis by retinoid 4-APR].
The anti-invasive and anti-metastatic effects with new retinoid 4-acetamidophenyl retinoate (4-APR) were studied using in vitro and in vivo experiments. 4-APR, at the dose of 43.3 mg.kg-1.day-1 p.o., was shown to reduce the spontaneous lung metastatic foci of Lewis lung carcinoma. 4-APR was also found to inhibit the artificial lung metastasis of B16-F10 cells by 67.9% and 36.6% and suppress the reconstituted basement membrane invasion of B16-F10 cells by 54.2% and 41.9% at the concentrations of 10(-5) mol.L-1 and 10(-6) mol.L-1, respectively.
