Using alcohol extract of lei gong teng, triptolide or tripdiolide on mice with leukemia L₁₂₁₀, (50~400mcg/kg), showed that the therapy was highly effective ^[58].  

The effective dosage for mice with L₁₂₁₀ and P₃₈₈ was 0.1mg/kg. Using triptolide of 0.25mg and 0.2mg/kg on mice with leukemia L₆₁₅, has proved to prolong the survival rates to more than 159.8% and 87.8% respectively and also has caused some of the mice to survive long term. Using spleen cell L₆₁₅, once a month continually for three months to attack the cancer cells that survived long term, did not affect the survival rate of the mice or cause them to get ill ^[24,58,59].

Triptolide can inhibit cancer cells of the stomach. It can cause the cancer cells to destroy themselves. Just in two days, half of the cancer cells died off. [c]
