Tumor suppression by Tegafur combined with Barbadian in S-180 tumor-bearing mice.

In conclusion, the combination of Tegafur and Barbadian has the significant effect of inhibiting mice S-180 sarcoma. The single use of chemotherapeutic drug Tegafur has no significant inhibitory effect on mice S-180 sarcoma. The single use of Barbadian has good antitumor effect and can resist the significant decrease of lymphocytes caused by the chemotherapeutic drug Tegafur. Thus, Barbadian has a good antitumor effect and can protect the immune system of the body, making it a viable treatment option. PMID: 30405750 [PubMed]
