This document summarizes several methods for screening potential anti-cancer compounds in vitro and in vivo. It describes assays to test compounds' effects on cell viability, growth, and metabolism in cell cultures, including trypan blue dye uptake, [3H]thymidine uptake, and MTT dye conversion assays. For in vivo models, it mentions using chemically-induced cancer in rats to test compounds' effects on tumor doubling time and growth. Common carcinogens mentioned are dimethylhydrazine and 1-methyl-1-nitrosourea used to induce colorectal and breast cancers in rat models respectively.
