Action on various experimental tumour-host systems of methyoxy-substituted glycerol ethers incorporated into the feed.

The effect of the growth and spread of tumours by methoxy-substituted glycerol ethers incorporated into the feed has been tested on a broad spectrum of tumour-host systems. Inhibitory effects on tumour growth were noted mainly by 1-0-(2-methoxy-hexadecyl) glycerol and on Melanoma B 16, Lewis Lung Tumour, MCA-sarcoma MCG101 and the lymphomas LAA and P1534. Spontaneous metastasis formation from Melanoma B16 and two MCA-sarcomas was inhibited.
