title: [The antitumour activity of total saponin of Clematis chinensis].
abstract: This paper has shown the cytocidal effects of total saponin of Clermatis chisensis Osbeck (CCS) on experimental tumours EAC cells, S180A cells and HepA cells in vitro, using microculture method 72 hours. The IC50 were 242 micrograms/ml, 193 micrograms/ml and 130 micrograms/ml respectively. In vivo the growth of transplanted mouse tumour(S180) was inhibited by the CCS with inhibitory rates 40.3% (0.25 g/kg), 55.1% (0.5 g/kg), 53.0% (1 g/kg), but CCS(0.2 g/kg, 0.4g/kg, 0.5 g/kg) hasn't effect on survival time of tumour mice(S180A).
