3. 1. INTRODUCTION
Cancer is a group of diseases involving
abnormal cell growth with the potential to invade
or spread to other parts of the body.
Screening methods are important to find the
solid tumor causing specific agents.
Presently, the existing major anticancer drugs
are having both beneficial and cytotoxic effects.
So as to overcome the undesired effects, new
molecules are to be produced, using simple
cheap methods.

4. 2. HISTORY OF ANTICANCER DRUG SCREENING
Initial screening and drug development
programs were small in scale.
Ehrlich and Warburg, studies were
conducted on the tumor growth.
In the early 1950s the program had
evaluated more than 300 chemicals and
several hundreds of plant extracts.

5. 3. DEFINITION OF CANCER
Cancer is a group of diseases characterized by
uncontrolled growth and spread of abnormal cells. If the
spread is not controlled, it can result in death.
. Cancer is caused by both external factors and
internal factors
. Cancer is treated with surgery, radiation,
chemotherapy, hormone therapy, biological therapy,
and targeted therapy etc.

6. 4. TYPES OF CANCERS
They are noncancerous
They are removed by
surgery and they don’t
reoccur once they
removed
They can be grown
very large and weigh
pounds sometimes
They are cancerous
and it can invade near
by tissues
They reoccur if they
are removed by surgery
These are more
dangerous than benign
tumors

ANTICANCER DRUGS GENERAL TARGETS
Directly damage the Pre-DNA molecules
Directly Damage the DNA in the nucleus of the cell
Effect the synthesis or breakdown of the mitotic Spindles
9. 5.1TRYPHAN BLUE DYE EXCLUSION ASSAY
Live cells possess intact cell membranes that excludes the dye, where as
dead cells lost membrane integrity take up the dyes
PROCEDURE
Cells are incubated with different concentrations of test
compounds for 4 days.
Dead cells are stained with dyes colors.
Specimen is centrifuged, collected and
observed on microscopic slides.

18. Injection of cell suspension
Agitate the cell suspension to prevent the cells from settling, and
withdraw from the sterile tube into a 1-cc TB syringe with the needle
removed.
Lift the skin of the mouse to separate it from the underlying
muscle and inject, with a 21 G needle, 0.1 ml of the cell suspension
(1 × 107
cells) subcutaneously.
Observation
The mice have to be sacrificed to measure tumor volume.

19. 6.4 GENETICALLY ENGINEERED CANCER MODELS (GEM)
GEM models have increased understanding of the molecular
pathways responsible for the initiation and progression of human
cancer, and have highlighted the importance of specific oncogenes
and tumor suppressor genes (TSG) in particular types of cancer.
GEM models possess well-validated molecular/genetic
characteristics which ultimately facilitate the rational design of
small molecule therapeutics.

20. 7. CONCLUSION
Anticancer drug screening is necessary to prioritize compounds for
further development. In the era of target oriented molecular cancer
therapeutics, screening procedures are tailored towards the specific area.
They however require, careful design and validation. So, knowledge on
this screening methods can lay a path for screening of the novel anticancer
drugs with more selectivity and specificity.
