Epidemiological studies suggest that consumption of cruciferous vegetables rich in dithiolethiones is associated with a reduction in the incidence of cancer in man. The effect of two dose levels of dietary ohipraz [5–(2-pyrazinyl)–4–methyl-1, 2-dithiole-3-thione], a substituted dithiolethione, on azoxymethane (AOM)-induced intestinal carcinogenesis and on serum levels was studied in male F344 rats. The maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of oltipraz was determined in male F344 rats and found to be 500 p.p.m. Oltipraz at levels of 200 p.p.m. (40% MTD) and 400 p.p.m. (80% MTD) diet was tested as inhibitor of intestinal carcinogenesis. At 5 weeks of age, animals were fed the modified AIN-76A (control) diet and experimental diets containing oltipraz. At 7 weeks of age, all animals except the vehicle-treated animals were administered s.c. injection of AOM (15 mg/kg body wt/week for 2 weeks). Animals intended for vehicle treatment were administered s.c. with an equal volume of normal saline. Fifty-two weeks later, all animals were killed and colon and small intestinal tumor incidences and multiplicity were compared among the dietary groups. The results indicate that feeding of 200 and 400 p.p.m. of oltipraz significantly inhibited the incidence of adenocarcinomas in colon and small intestine and multiplicity of colon adenomas and small intestinal adenocarcinomas. Animals fed 400 p.p.m. oltipraz showed increased levels of oltipraz in the serum as compared to those fed 200 p.p.m. oltipraz. The results of this study indicate that dietary oltipraz inhibits intestinal carcinogenesis.
