Abstrakt: Actinomycin D, when encapsulated within liposomes, is less toxic to mice than the nonencapsulated form. A single dose (0.75 mg/kg) or multiple doses (1 × 0.50, 4 × 0.25 mg/kg) significantly increased the mean survival time of mice inoculated with Ehrlich ascites tumor cells. Liposomes containing actinomycin D were found in tumor cells and cell degeneration and death were subsequently observed.
