THE UPCOMING THERAPY FROM CAMEL'S URINE

Cancer presents a serious problem in Egypt with high incidence. Intensive research work. was done to control the disease. The ideal treatment that selectively kill the malignant cell and keep other normal ones safe from hazards of cancer therapy has not yet been achieved. Camel was mentioned in the book of Muslims as special creature. The profit Mohamed advised people to use camel's urine and milk for treatment of some ailments. in the current study camel urine samples were collected from camels reared in wadi Elnotron, El Alameen road in north west desert of Egypt. Urine samples were fractionated using HPLC. Freshly collected urine samples were diluted in different proportions 1:1, 1:2, 1:4, 1:8, 1:16, 1:32, 1:64, 1:128, 1:256, 1:512, 1:1024 and 1;2048 with sterile saline solution (0.85% NaCl). Cytotoxic effect of camel urine to cancer cell lines were done. Colon (HCT), lung (A549 ), breast (MCF-7 ) and liver (HepG2) cancers were used in the study. the antiviral effect of camel urine was examined using sterile adenovirus inoculated into pre-cultured Vero cells tissue culture flask. results revealed that camel urine has anticancer effect and antiviral effect up to 8-fold of dilution. the main component defined in fractionated urine was dimethylamine and formamide. The study showed that camel urine had cytotoxic effect for different cancer cell lines and antiviral effect up to 8 folds of dilution. The dimethylamine was a major component in camel urine was known as a component of anticancer chemotherapy.
