Abstract：
:The influence of anaesthetics on the in vivo response of B16 melanoma to melphalan was studied using an in vitro cell-survival assay. Three anaesthetics were used, Saffan (Althesin) Sagatal (Nembutal) and Hypnorm. When Saffan was administered to tumour-bearing animals before melphalan there was a significant increase in tumour-cell kill. This effect was not observed with Sagatal or Hypnorm. Maximum increase in tumour-cell kill was achieved when Saffan was administered about 1 h before melphalan, and was dependent on Saffan dose. Clonogenic tumour-cell repopulation after melphalan was rapid (TD - 1 day) and the rate was similar from 2 levels of cell kill. When Saffan was combined with melphalan the repopulation rate was the same as with melphalan alone, and the increased cell kill was reflected in increased growth delay. The in vitro response of B16 melanoma cells to melphalan was unaltered by pretreatment with, or simultaneous exposure to Saffan. The results suggest that the mechanism of the enhanced cell kill in vivo is probably due to an indirect systemic effect, rather than a direct effect on the tumour cells.
