Post-cancer Treatment with Condurango 30C Shows Amelioration of Benzo[a]pyrene-induced Lung Can- cer in Rats Through the Molecular Pathway of Caspa- se-3-mediated Apoptosis Induction-Anti-lung cancer potential of Condurango 30C in rats-

30C, homeopathy, lung cancer Objectives: The present investigation aimed at examin-ing if post-cancer treatment with a potentized homeo-pathic drug, Condurango 30C, which is generally used to treat oesophageal cancer, could also show an ame-liorating effect through apoptosis induction on lung cancer induced by benzo[a]pyrene (BaP) in white rats (Rattus norvegicus). Methods: Lung cancer was induced after four months by chronic feeding of BaP to rats through gavage at a dose of 50 mg/kg body weight for one month. After four months, the lung-cancer-bearing rats were treat-ed with Condurango 30C for the next one (5th), two (5th-6th) and three (5th-7th) months, respectively, and were sacrificed at the corresponding time- points.
