The influence and inhibitory mechanisms of a synthetic Paecnia rubra 801 (P801) on occurrence of lung metastases were investigated. The results showed that treatment with P801 alone or in combination with decoction of Huangqi (Astragalus root) can significantly reduce the number of lung nodules. The mechanisms responsible for decreased colonyforming potential in the rats treated with P801 were investigated. ADP-induced or W256 tumor cell-induced platelet aggregation was markedly inhibited by P801. It appears that inhibitory effect of P801 on occurrence of W256 tumor lung nodules is mainly due to reduced blood coagulability and inhibition of platelet activation by tumor cells.展开更多
