The production of nitric oxide in endotoxin-resistant C3H/HeJ mice in response to flavone-8-acetic acid (FAA), derivatives of xanthenone-4-acetic (XAA), endotoxin and recombinant human tumour necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) was investigated and compared with the induction of haemorrhagic necrosis in subcutaneous M16/C tumours. FAA and XAA analogues stimulated nitric oxide production both in vitro (activated macrophages) and in vivo (plasma nitrate elevation) in both C3H/HeJ and C3H/HeN mice (5,6-dimethyl-XAA greater than 5-methyl-XAA greater than FAA greater than XAA greater than 8-methyl-XAA). Recombinant human TNF-alpha stimulated nitric oxide production equally from both murine strains while endotoxin stimulated nitric oxide production only by C3H/HeN mice. The extent of induction of haemorrhagic necrosis in tumour-bearing mice treated with FAA, 5,6-dimethyl XAA or endotoxin paralleled the effects on nitric oxide production, showing a differential between the two strains of mice only in the case of endotoxin.
