Abstract: OBJECTIVE To study the effects of Gypenosides (GPs) on neoplasm growth, total number of splenic cells and NK cell activity. METHODS Antitumor experiment in mice was made and the total number of splen cells and NK cell activity were determined. RESULTS GPs could significantly inhibit the growth of Lewis lung cancer in mice. The inhibiting rates of tumor were (30.7±1.2)%,(51.5±2.5)% and (50.3±1.5)% (P<0.01) after ip GPs 10,20 and 40mg/kg,respectively. The total number of splenic cells and the NK cell activity of both PBL and splenic cells were elevated. CONCLUSION The antitumor effect of GPs is related to the elevated immunological function of tumor grafted mice.
