In this study the effects of cysteamine, putrescine and the combination of cysteamine and putrescine were investigated in mice with 3-Methylcholanthrene (3-MC) induced on fibrosarcoma. A total of 135 adult male Mouse (Mus musculus) albino, 2-3 months old and weighting 20±2.0 g was used in this study. Mice in each group were divided 15 consisting of 9 individual. The first group was kept as a negative control group. The second group received subcutaneous injection of 0.2 ml sesame oil, and the third group was given subcutaneously 3-MC (1 mg/0.2 ml sesame oil). The 4th, 5th and 6th groups recived 0.1% cysteamine, 0.1% putrescine and 0.1% cysteamine + 0.1% putrescine mix with drinking water ad libitum respectively. The 7th, 8th and 9th groups were injected with 0.2 ml of 3-MC solution. After 1 month 0.1% cysteamine, 0.1% putrescine and 0.1% cysteamine + 0.1% putrescine combinations were administrated in drinking water to 7th, 8th and 9th groups respectively. After 1 year of all experiments mice tissues were evaluated morphologic and histopathologically. As a result were respectively demonstrated protective effect of putrescine, cysteamine+putrescine and cysteamin against 3-MC induced fibrosarcoma.
