Under the conditions of our tests, ellipticine inhibits remarkably the carcinogenic action of BT6 on the liver, characterized, in particular, by the swiftness of its outbreak. Under the influence of this carcinostatic compound, a considerable activation of liver metabolism is observed, resulting in an hyperproduction of cytochrome P450, while the arginase capital is restored after an appreciable fall, as if ellipticine played a favourable part in the safeguard of this enzyme, recognized as one of the targets of liver carcinogens. The relationships between various effects of ellipticine are discussed.
