TLDR TS-13 effectively stops tumor growth and reduces chemotherapy side effects.
The study investigated the effects of a synthetic monophenolic antioxidant, TS-13, on tumor growth and chemotherapy side effects in 120 female C57Bl/6 mice with Lewis lung carcinoma. TS-13, administered intragastrically, inhibited tumor growth as effectively as doxorubicin and showed enhanced effects when combined with it. Unlike tBHQ, TS-13 significantly reduced the negative side effects of chemotherapy, including cachexia, splenotoxicity, and alopecia. The study concluded that TS-13, as a direct antioxidant and inducer of the Keap1/Nrf2/ARE system, is comparable to doxorubicin in antitumor efficacy and can mitigate chemotherapy's adverse effects.
