Compared with the vehicle group, treatment with Nifuroxazide could inhibit tumor growth and tumor weight in a dose-dependent manner, with the inhibition rate of tumor volumes being 43.0% and 62.1% at 25 mg/kg and 50 mg/kg, respectively. It is also shown that Nifuroxazide significantly inhibits the proliferation of nuclear Ki-67-positive cells and induces apoptosis cells of cleaved caspase-3-positive cells. Besides, it is found that treatment with Nifuroxazide could inhibit the expression of MMP-2, MMP-9 and p-Stat3 in A375 tumor tissues. What’s more, Nifuroxazide inhibits the infiltration of MDSCs into the lung, which might be associated with suppression of distant colonization of tumor cells in B16-F10 melanoma metastasis model.
