Abstract: AIM: To detemine the anti-cancer andimmune-enhancing effects of carboxymethyl-chitosan. METHODS: MTT method was used to detect the activity of carboxymethyl-chitosan in vitro; S180 tumor model wasbuilt to study the antitumor ffeet of carboxymethyl-chi-tosan in tito. Flow cytonetric analysis was employed toanalysis tumor cell eyele and apoptosis. ELISA was usedto measure the immune modulation activity of carboxym-ethyi chitosan. RESULTS: Carboxymethyl-chitosan sup-pressed tumorcells. The IC50 is 30 μg/mL. The cell ey-rle was arested in Gphase afer Carboxynethyi-chitsan treatment, and apoplosis of cancer cell was induced obvi-ously. Carboxymethyl-chitosan also presented proninenteffects on anti-cancer and imanune enhancement. CONCLUSION: Carboxymethyl-chitosan exhibit anti-caner effects significantly by direetly illing cancer celis and in-mune enhancement.

Key words: carboxymethyl-chitosan, tumor, multi-plication restriction, inmunity
