The aim of the study is the search of correlation dependence of infrared (IR) parameters of biological tissues of animals-carriers of tumours on concentration changes of some phosphorus-containing metabolites against the background of complex administration of ozone and doxorubicin (DR).

Materials and Methods. Experimental animals, white non-pedigree female rats (n=45), with tumour strain BC-1 (breast cancer) were administered intraperitoneal introduction of ozonized physiological saline (OPS) (ozone dose: 20 mg per an animal, 6 procedures every other day) interchanging it with DR administration (dosage: 0.04 mg per an animal, 5 procedures every other day). The animals were involved into the experiment on the 45th day after tumour subinoculation.

The research was carried out using the technique of IR-spectroscopy of biological tissues.

Conclusion. The administration of OPS, DR and OPS+DR complex to the animals with tumour strain BC-1 changes the parameters of IR spectra of the liver, kidneys, lungs, brain, tumour of these animals. OPS+DR complex has higher therapeutic effect compared to monochemotherapy. Therefore, ozone can be considered as a chemical agent modifying the cellular element action and enhancing tumour cells damage that emphasizes the feasibility of chemotherapy performed in combination with ozone therapy.
