Primary liver cancer (PLC) presents poor prognosis, which makes its chemoprevention important. In this sense, tributyrin (TB), a prodrug of butyric acid (AB), present in dairy products and honey, has been shown to be a promising chemopreventive agent for experimental hepatocarcinogenesis. The inhibitory effects of TB have been related to inhibition of the development of pre-neoplastic lesions, as well as induction of apoptosis and hyperacetylation of histones. Chemotherapy is one of the most common approaches for treating various types of cancer, including PLC. In this case, treatment with sorafenib (SO) is able to prolong the average survival of patients with the disease in advanced stages in approximately three months. In view of this, studies of the association of sorafenib with other compounds that may increase the efficacy of chemotherapeutic treatment are necessary. Thus, the association of anti-neoplastic drugs with bioactive compounds in food may be a potential strategy to increase efficacy against cancer. In the present study, the anticarcinogenic activity of TB and SO was evaluated, alone or in combination, in the progression stage of hepatocarcinogenesis. For this purpose, syngenic implants were performed on the flank of Fischer-344 mice from GP7TB tumor cells. When the neoplasms reached 1 cm 3 , the animals were randomized into experimental groups: Control group (CO), consisting of 10 Fischer 344 rats receiving Maltodextrin (300mg / 100 g.p.c), isocaloric control and 12.5% ethanol solution, and Cremofor to 12.5% in sterile water; Tributyrin group (TB), consisting of 9 Fischer 344 rats that received TB (200mg / 100 g.p.c.) and 12.5% ethanol solution and Cremofor 12.5% in sterile water; Sorafenib group (SO) consisting of 9 Fischer 344 rats receiving maltodextrin (300 mg / 100 g, w / w), isocaloric control and sorafenib tosylate (3 mg / 100 g, w / w) in sterile water; The association group of tributyrin and sorafenib (AS) consisted of 9 Fischer 344 rats receiving TB (20 mg / 100 g p.o.) and sorafenib tosylate (3 mg / 100 g p.o.); treated intragastric (i.g) daily for 5 consecutive weeks. The concentrations of AB and SO were analyzed by gas chromatography associated with mass spectrometry and the neoplasms were characterized by immunohistochemistry. In relation to the evolution of the size of the neoplasias, the AS group presented smaller (p = 0.009) size of the same ones in relation to the CO group. However, these differences did not reach significant differences (p> 0.05) between the TB and CO groups, as well as between the SO and CO groups. However, when adjusted for size of the neoplasm by latency, significant changes (p <0.05) were observed in the different groups when compared to the CO group. The SO group increased the necrotic area of the neoplasias, although this difference did not reach a significant difference (p> 0.05), while the TB group reduced this necrotic area in relation to the CO group (p = 0.005). The TB and AS groups presented significantly higher (p <0.05) hepatic and neoplastic AB co...
