## Abstract We have demonstrated previously that terbinafine (TB), an oral antifungal agent used in the treatment of superficial mycosis, suppresses proliferation of various cultured human cancer cells __in vitro__ and __in vivo__ by inhibiting DNA synthesis and activating apoptosis. In our study,

Abstract
The effects of Fibroblast Growth Factor (FGF) and Epidermal Growth Factor (EGF) on the proliferation of bovine vascular endothelial cells has been examined. FGF induces the initiation of DNA synthesis and cell proliferation in cloned endothelial cells of fetal and adult origin at concentrations as low as 1 ng/ml and is saturating at 50 ng/ml. EGF had no effect over the same range of concentrations. The mitogenic effect of FGF is blocked by a crude extract of cartilage. Platelet extract is also mitogenic for vascular endothelial cells although to a lesser extent than the purified FGF. In contrast to vascular endothelial cells, both EGF and FGF are mitogenic for vascular smooth muscle cells although EGF is less mitogenic than FGF at 100 ng/ml. The mitogenic effect of EGF and FGF on vascular smooth muscle is not blocked by the addition of a crude extract of cartilage, thus demonstrating the specificity of the chalone like effect of cartilage crude extract for endothelial cells.

The therapeutic value of many growth factors is often hindered by the narrow therapeutic index and sustained concentrations required for efficacy. Controlled release approaches provide a valuable tool to achieve these goals; however, growth factor stability must be maintained. Repifermin 1 is a trun
