Antitumour and radioprotective action of Podophyllum hexandrum.

A significant antitumour effect of P. hexandrum, a herb thriving at Himalayas (2500-4000 m), was observed in strain 'A' mice carrying solid tumours developed by transplanting Ehrlich ascites tumour (EAT). Subtoxic well tolerated sequential doses of aqueous extract of P. hexandrum (a daily dose of 34.5 mg/kg b.w. for 15 days) enhanced tumour doubling time (TDT) from 1.94 +/- 0.26 days to 19.1 +/- 2.5 days. However, no synergism was revealed between radiation and P. hexandrum, though both independently manifested antitumour effects. In normal mice, pre-irradiation administration of extract of P. hexandrum protected mice in a dose dependent manner (optimal dose being 34.5 mg/kg body.wt. rendering 72% survival for 30 days) against whole body lethal irradiation of 10 Gy. Radioprotective properties of P. hexandrum were found to be comparable to synthetic radioprotectors like diltiazem etc.

Histopathologic changes in condylomata acuminata after application of podophyllum.

The histologic changes of podophyllin-treated condylomata acuminata were studied at 24-hour, 48-hour, and 7-day intervals. The 24-hour specimens had scattered individual atypical cells, whereas 48-hour specimens demonstrated small focal areas of atypia. Seven-day specimens exhibited very mild atypia of cells. All treated specimens had inflammation-necrosis ranging from scattered inflammatory cells to degeneration of the squamous epithelium.
