Anti cancer effect of lei gong teng (tripterygium wilfordii, Hook. f.) Translated and edited by: Joe Hing Kwok Chu Triptolide and tripdiolide , () are highly effective in treating cancer. Using alcohol extract of lei gong teng, triptolide or tripdiolide on mice with leukemia L1210, (50~400mcg/kg), showed that the therapy was highly effective [58].
The effective dosage for mice with L1210 and P388 was 0.1mg/kg. Using triptolide of 0.25mg and 0.2mg/kg on mice with leukemia L615, has proved to prolong the survival rates to more than 159.8% and 87.8% respectively and also has caused some of the mice to survive long term. Using spleen cell L615, once a month continually for three months to attack the cancer cells that survived long term, did not affect the survival rate of the mice or cause them to get ill [24,58,59].
Triptolide can inhibit cancer cells of the stomach. It can cause the cancer cells to destroy themselves. Just in two days, half of the cancer cells died off. [c]
