Nitric Oxide Donor Exisulind Is an Effective Inhibitor of Murine Photocarcinogenesis

NO‐releasing nonsteroidal anti‐inflammatory drugs (NO‐NSAIDs) have been shown to have anti‐inflammatory, antiproliferative and apoptosis‐inducing effects in tumor cells. Herein, we have investigated the effects of NO‐exisulind on the growth of UVB‐induced skin tumor development in a murine model. We...

Zusammenfassung:NO‐releasing nonsteroidal anti‐inflammatory drugs (NO‐NSAIDs) have been shown to have anti‐inflammatory, antiproliferative and apoptosis‐inducing effects in tumor cells. Herein, we have investigated the effects of NO‐exisulind on the growth of UVB‐induced skin tumor development in a murine model. We found that the topical treatment with NO‐exisulind significantly reduced UVB‐induced tumors in SKH‐1 hairless mice. The tumors/tumor bearing mouse, the number of tumors/mouse and tumor volume/mouse decreased significantly (P
