Abstract: The antitumor effects of FSPV were studied in this paper.By using MTT assay and dye exclusion method,the inhibitory effects on 4 tumor cell lines in vitro of FSPV were studied.Cyclophosphamide was the positive control and saline the negative control.S180-bearing mice were used as animal model.The changes of tumor weight in vitro were investigated when FSPV were used.Results:The growth of 4 tumor cells is inhibited by FSPV significantly in dose-dependent manner.Especially the inhibitory effect on the HL-60 is specific up to 70.95%.The antitumor effect of FSPV on the S180 bearing mice is significant.The inhibitory rate is highest when the dose is 400mg/kg bw.Conclusion:FSPV have the antitumor effects on the 4 tumor cell lines and S180-bearing mice.
