Reference

Nude mice

HT-29 human colon cancer

5 mg/kg 3x/week, subcutaneous and intraperitoneal

5 mg/kg 3x/week, subcutaneous and intratumoral

2.5 mg/kg, intraperitoneal

Significant tumor reduction with both routes

Subcutaneous has faster response than intratumoral

Less effective than 5 mg/kg

Kogan et al. (2004)

Nude mice

HT-29 human colon cancer cells

15 mg/kg/week, subcutaneous

Decrease in tumor vascularization

Kogan et al. (2006)

Sabra mice

 

7.5 mg/kg/week

No major toxicities; mice gained weight

Kogan et al. (2007a)

Nude mice

HT-29 human colon cancer cells

5 mg/kg, 3x/week

Tumor shrinkage, weight gain, no change in ejection fraction, and no increase in cTnT

SCID-NOD mice

Raji human B-cell lymphoma

15 mg/kg/week

Tumor shrinkage, weight gain, no increase in cTnT, nonsignificant effect on white blood cells, no evidence of cardiotoxicity
