6BIO suppresses melanoma tumor growth in a mouse xenograft model. A, Toxicity study with BALB/c normal mice. 6BIO or vehicle control was administered through oral gavage once daily to each group, at doses of 50, 75 and 100 mg/kg body weight. The maximum tolerated dose (MTD) was determined as 100 mg/kg. B, 6BIO suppressed tumor growth of A2058 human melanoma xenografts in NSG mice. A2058 cells (5×106) were inoculated subcutaneously into the dorsal area of NSG mice. When tumors became palpable, 6BIO or vehicle control was administrated via oral gavage once daily. Points, mean (n = 8); bars, SE. P < 0.001.
