Abstract
- This work describes tamaoxifen, a nonsteroidal antiestrogen compound, which has been used extensively in the treatment of breast cancer on account of its efficacy and relatively low toxicity. It has been reported to inhibit glioma proliferation in all cell line tested, acting by a mechanism independent of estrogen receptor blockade. Tamoxifen causes cytotoxicity at higher concentration(>or=5 micrometer), as compared with control. Our results showed that this compound decreased the rate of cell proliferation in dose-dependent manner. Its treatment against the C6 glioma cells also resulted in enhancement of the antitumor effect. These data suggest that tamoxifen may serve as an useful agent in chemotherapy of glioma.
