Objective: 

To observe the attenuating effect of Rhizoma Panacis majoris (RPM) on toxicity of 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) chemotherapy in S180-bearing mice.


Methods:

S180 cells were subcutaneously injected to the right armpit of the mice to establish the S180-bearing model, and thirty mice were randomly divided into untreated group, 5-FU group and 5-FU combined with RPM group (5-FU plus RPM group). The general condition of S180-bearing mice was observed. The white blood cells, red blood cells, and reticulocytes in the peripheral blood were counted, and the ratio of reticulocytes was measured too. The life-span of the S180-bearing mice was recorded.


Results: 

The white blood cell count and the ratio of reticulocytes in 5-FU plus RPM group were higher than those in 5-FU group (P<0.01). The average lifespan of 5-FU plus RPM group was 32.5 days and that of the 5-FU group was 23.5 days; there was a significant difference in the lifespan between the two groups (P<0.01).


Conclusion: 

RPM can reduce the toxic effect of 5-FU and prolong the lifespan of S180-bearing mice.
