We examined the effects of roxithromycin, a 14-membered ring macrolide antibiotic, on tumor angiogenesis using a mouse dorsal air sac model. The inhibitory effect of roxithromycin was dose-dependent and 100 mg/kg of roxithromycin administered intraperitoneally twice a day reduced the dense capillary network area to about 20% of the control. However, at concentrations of up to 50 mu M, roxithromycin had no effect on lung cancer cells and human vascular endothelial cell growth and lung cancer cell production of the angiogenesis-inducing factors interleukin-8 and vascular endothelial growth factor. Roxithromycin at concentrations greater than 20 mu M inhibited endothelial cell migration and tube formation. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science Ireland Ltd. All rights reserved.
