Hippurate had antitumor effects both in vitro and in vivo by killing dose-dependently the cells derived from Skalsky lymphoma, Németh-Kellner lymphoma, L-asparaginase sensitive 6C3HED Gardner lymphoma, and LP-2 plasmacytoma. There was no significant difference between the effect of hippurate and its maternal compound benzoate. Hippurate administered intraperitoneally twice a day at a dose of 1 g/kg body weight significantly inhibited the growth of solid 6C3HED Gardner lymphoma even in the case that the treatment was started when the tumors reached a weight of over 400 mg. It was concluded that benzoates could be an important endogenous group of substances with antitumor effects.
