Evofosfamide, a new horizon in the treatment of pancreatic cancer
Evofosfamide, also formerly known as TH-302, is an investigational hypoxia-activated prodrug and is used to target cancerous cells under hypoxic conditions, which is a feature possessed by multiple solid tumors including pancreatic tumors. Gemcitabine, a cytotoxic agent, has for many years been the standard...

Ototoxicity of 12 mg/kg cisplatin in the Fischer 344/NHsd rat using multiple dosing strategies
Ototoxicity continues to be a major dose-limiting side effect of cis-diamminedichloroplatinum(II) (cisplatin). With an ongoing need to develop pharmaceutical protection strategies for cisplatin’s ototoxicity, there is also a need to develop stable in-vivo mammalian models of cisplatin ototoxicity. The...

We have cloned and expressed a recombinant ® IL-7/IL-15 fusion protein in which IL-7 and...

Imatinib changes collagen structure and increases transport
A typical obstacle to cancer therapy is the limited distribution of low-molecular weight anti-cancer drugs within the carcinoma tissue. In experimental carcinoma, Imatinib (STI571) increases efficacy of synchronized chemotherapy, reduces tumor interstitial fluid pressure and increases interstitial fluid...

FLIP-mediated radio-resistance in NSCLC
Resistance to radiotherapy due to insufficient cancer cell death is a significant cause of treatment failure in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The endogenous caspase-8 inhibitor, FLIP, is a critical regulator of cell death that is frequently overexpressed in NSCLC and is an established inhibitor...

Wedelolactone interrupts c-Myc oncogenic signaling
The c-Myc gene encodes an oncoprotein transcription factor which is frequently up-regulated in almost all cancer types, and is the subject of intense investigation for management of cancer because of its pleiotropic effects controlling a spectrum of cellular functions. However, due of its non-enzymatic...

Repression of phosphoglycerate dehydrogenase sensitizes triple-negative breast cancer to doxorubicin
Abstract Purpose Approximately 70 % of triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) cell lines are identified to upregulate phosphoglycerate dehydrogenase (PHGDH), which regulates the intracellular synthesis of serine and glycine, and promotes tumor growth. In this work, the impact of this pathway on doxorubicin...

CNDAC drug combinations
CNDAC (2’-C-cyano-2’-deoxy-1-β-D-arabino-pentofuranosyl-cytosine, DFP10917) and its orally bioavailable prodrug, sapacitabine, are undergoing clinical trials for hematological malignancies and solid tumors. The unique action mechanism of inducing DNA strand breaks distinguishes CNDAC from other deoxycytidine...

Ribosome-inactivating Proteins from Root Tubers and Seeds of Trichosan-thes kirilowii and Other Trichosanthes Species
Ribosome-inactivating proteins have been isolated from Trichosanthes kirilowii root tubers and seeds, including trichosanthin, karasurin and T 33 from root tubers and trichosanthrip, trichokirin, alpha-kirilowin, beta-kirilowin and trichoanguin from seeds. The aforementioned proteins show structural...

Wasp Venom Toxins as a Potential Therapeutic Agent
It is high time now to discover novel drugs due to the increasing rate of drug resistance by the pathogen organisms and target cells as well as the dependence or tolerance of the body towards the drug. As it is obvious that significant numbers of the modern day pharmaceuticals are derived from natural...

Total and mutated EGFR quantification in cell-free DNA from non-small cell lung cancer patients detects tumor heterogeneity and presents prognostic value
Abstract Mutation analysis of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) gene is essential for treatment selection in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Analysis is usually performed in tumor samples. We evaluated the clinical utility of EGFR analysis in plasma cell-free DNA (cfDNA) from patients under...

Growth inhibitory effect of rapamycin in Hodgkin-lymphoma cell lines characterized by constitutive NOTCH1 activation
Abstract Growing evidence suggests that deregulation of signalling elements of Notch and mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) pathways contribute to tumorigenesis. These signals play important roles in cellular functions and malignancies. Their tumorigenic role in T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukaemia...
