Abstract
Polyethylene-glycol (PEG) is a strong inhibitor of colon cancer in rats, and the most potent suppressor of aberrant crypt foci. Nine PEG-like block copolymers were tested in rodents, after an azoxymethane injection. Dietary pluronic F68 led to a 98.6% reduction in the number of aberrant crypt foci in a first rat study (P < 0.0001). Next 3 studies confirmed this pluronic efficacy in rats and mice. This non-toxic laxative seems roughly five times more potent than PEG for chemoprevention.
