Outline of Final Research Achievements

Tumor volume amount, tumor weight, survival rate and FDG-PET imaging were analyzed until death in mice in the drug non-medicated control group and the KNK437 administration group. The improvement in tumor volume amount and survival rate was not observed in the KNK administration group compared with the control group.
Bio distribution results by gamma counter showed a small amount of FDG accumulation in the tumor and lung in the KNK group compared with in the control group. New anticancer agents KNK437 was suggested to have the antitumor effect in tumor increase and lung metastasis inhibitory effect in in vivo.
