In Vivo Model
A total of 15 six-week-old female BALB/c nude mice (25.2-25.9 g) were purchased from SLAC Animal Laboratories. Approximately 1 x 106 BxPC-3 cells were subcutaneously implanted into the right flank of the nude mice. The tumors were allowed to grow to approximately 120 mm3 in size and a total of 15 tumor-bearing mice were divided randomly into 3 groups (n = 5 per group). Group 1 was injected with 0.1 ml PBS as control; group 2 and 3 received 5 and 10 mg/kg ruscogenin, respectively twice per week.
