“…Previous studies showed that xanthatin had an antitumour effect in several tumour cells, including A549 nonsmall cell lung cancer cells, H1299 nonsmall cell lung cancer cells, B16‐F10 murine melanoma cells, human breast cancer MDA‐MB‐231 cells, HL‐60 cells, the human leukemic mast cell line LAD2, and Chinese hamster ovary cells (Li et al, ; Sanchez‐Lamar et al, ; Takeda, Nishimura, et al, ; Takeda, Noguchi, et al, ; Tao et al, ; Tao et al, ; Tao et al, ; Vera et al, ; Yu et al, ; L. Zhang, Ruan, et al, ). Here, we found that xanthatin significantly inhibited tumour growth in both nude mouse xenograft glioma and rat orthotopic implanted glioma in a dose‐dependent manner.…”
