β¦ Synopsis
Time-dependent toxicity of 3 anti-cancer drugs was demonstrated in BALB/c mice. Cisplatinum, adriamycin and cyclophosphamide were injected at 4 different circadian stages, either together (combined injection) or separately, to different groups of mice. Toxicity was evaluated by body-weight changes, mortality and white blood cell counts. Maximal body-weight loss was caused by the administration of either Cisplatinum or the combination of all 3 drugs at 15.00 hr and 2 I .OO hr, i.e., 9 and I 5 hr after fight on (HALO). Only moderate body weight loss was induced when adriamycin was injected at 09.00 hr or at 2 I .OO hr (3 and I 5 HALO). In contrast
