BCP inhibited tumor growth in an ectopic tumor model. Photographic images represent a subcutaneous xenograft mice model with regard to tumor growth and tumor sizes. Mice were injected subcutaneously with HCT 116 cells 8 days before treatment. Different doses of BCP were supplemented for 8 weeks and the tumor size was measured (A). The dose-response relationship of BCP on the body weight of vehicle-treated (control) and BCP-treated animals (B). ** p < 0.01 compared to control group. The dose-response relationship of BCP on tumor size of vehicle-treated (control) and BCP-treated animals. Each point represented the mean ± SD of 6 tumors (C).
