The Fugu medicated therapeutic prescription (FGMTP) composed of the medicinal herbs with food usage was investigated on the nutrition components and its anti-tumor activity. The results showed that the ratios of thermogenesis of three calorifacient nutrients were protein (12.34%), fat(5.62%) and carbohydrates (82.0%), respectively. The IC50 values of the water extract from this prescription against the 7901 or K562 cell line colony formations were 3.59 g/L and 25.74 mg/L, and the maximal inhibitory rates against both cell line colony formations were 53.2% and 58.9%; respectively. The maximal inhibitory rates against HepA and S180 transplantation tumors were 35.3% and 35.0%, respectively. It is concluded that the FGMTP possessed obvious antitumor effects.
