Dicoumarol enhances doxorubicin-induced cytotoxicity in p53 wild-type urothelial cancer cells through p38 activation.

Only registered users can translate articles

OBJECTIVE To investigate the effectiveness of a combined treatment of 3-30-methylene-bis[4-hydroxycoumarin] (dicoumarol) with doxorubicin for the treatment of urothelial cancer, as doxorubicin is a common chemotherapeutic agent but its therapeutic efficacy is limited. METHODS The synergistic effect

Modulation of the cytotoxicity of mitomycin C to EMT6 mouse mammary tumor cells by dicoumarol in vitro.

Only registered users can translate articles

Aerobic and hypoxic cultures of EMT6 mouse mammary tumor cells were used to study the effects of dicoumarol (DIC) on the cytotoxicity of mitomycin C (MC). DIC protected aerobic cells from MC toxicity, but sensitized hypoxic cells to the cytotoxic actions of this antibiotic. Survival curves for cells

OBJECTIVE To study the photosensitization of dicoumarol (Dic) on tumor cells and any effect by sodium diethyldithiocarbamate (DDC). RESULTS Dic, 40, 80, 120 mumol.L-1 concentration-dependently inhibited the DNA synthesis (81%-93%) and increased the mortality (50%-70.4%) of ascitic hepatoma (Hep A)

Dicoumarol potentiates cisplatin-induced apoptosis mediated by c-Jun N-terminal kinase in p53 wild-type urogenital cancer cell lines.

3-3'-Methylene-bis [4-hydroxycoumarin] (dicoumarol), an inhibitor of NADPH:quinone oxidoreductase 1, has been reported to possess potential antineoplastic effects and the ability to abrogate p53 protein. In the present study, we investigated the cytotoxic effects of dicoumarol in combination with

Dicoumarol suppresses HMGA2-mediated oncogenic capacities and inhibits cell proliferation by inducing apoptosis in colon cancer.

Only registered users can translate articles

Colon cancer is one of the leading causes of cancer-related deaths and its five-year survival rate remains low in locally advanced or metastatic stages of colon cancer. Overexpression of high mobility group protein AT-hook2 (HMGA2) is associated with cancer progression, metastasis, and poor

Modification of the metabolism and cytotoxicity of bioreductive alkylating agents by dicoumarol in aerobic and hypoxic murine tumor cells.

Only registered users can translate articles

We have demonstrated previously that dicoumarol (DIC) increased the generation of reactive metabolites from mitomycin C (MC) in EMT6 cells under hypoxic conditions in vitro. This increased reaction rate was associated with an increased toxicity of MC to hypoxic EMT6 cells. In contrast, aerobic cells

Use of quinones in brain-tumor therapy: preliminary results of preclinical laboratory investigations.

Only registered users can translate articles

Failure of current chemotherapeutic agents to effectively treat human brain tumors has prompted the search for alternative regimens based on the inherent metabolic pathways of target cells. One way to accomplish this goal would be to design drugs in an inactive form, which upon entry into the cell

Dicoumarol: a unique microtubule stabilizing natural product that is synergistic with Taxol.

Only registered users can translate articles

In studies on the antiproliferative actions of coumarin compounds, we discovered that dicoumarol (a coumarin anticoagulant; 3,3'-methylenebis[4-hydroxycoumarin]) inhibits the first cleavage of Strongylocentrotus purpuratus (sea urchin) embryos in a concentration-dependent manner with 50% inhibition

An NQO1-initiated and p53-independent apoptotic pathway determines the anti-tumor effect of tanshinone IIA against non-small cell lung cancer.

Only registered users can translate articles

NQO1 is an emerging and promising therapeutic target in cancer therapy. This study was to determine whether the anti-tumor effect of tanshinone IIA (TSA) is NQO1 dependent and to elucidate the underlying apoptotic cell death pathways. NQO1(+) A549 cells and isogenically matched NQO1 transfected and

Sulindac compounds facilitate the cytotoxicity of β-lapachone by up-regulation of NAD(P)H quinone oxidoreductase in human lung cancer cells.

Only registered users can translate articles

β-lapachone, a major component in an ethanol extract of Tabebuia avellanedae bark, is a promising potential therapeutic drug for various tumors, including lung cancer, the leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide. In the first part of this study, we found that apoptotic cell death induced in

Proteomic analysis to identify biomarkers in the primary tumour that predict response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy in liver metastases.

Only registered users can translate articles

BACKGROUND Colorectal cancer is the fourth commonest cancer in the UK, and the second commonest cause of cancer-related death. A knowledge of the biological phenotype of colorectal liver metastases would be invaluable to inform clinical decision making; however, deriving this information from the

Chemotherapeutic attack of hypoxic tumor cells by the bioreductive alkylating agent mitomycin C.

Only registered users can translate articles

Since the cure of solid tumors is limited by the presence of cells with low oxygen contents, we have approached the development of treatment regimens and of new drugs for these tumors by investigating agents which are preferentially bioactivated under hypoxia. Major emphasis has been directed at

Prostate cancer radiosensitization through poly(ADP-Ribose) polymerase-1 hyperactivation.

Only registered users can translate articles

The clinical experimental agent, β-lapachone (β-lap; Arq 501), can act as a potent radiosensitizer in vitro through an unknown mechanism. In this study, we analyzed the mechanism to determine whether β-lap may warrant clinical evaluation as a radiosensitizer. β-Lap killed prostate cancer cells by

An NQO1- and PARP-1-mediated cell death pathway induced in non-small-cell lung cancer cells by beta-lapachone.

Only registered users can translate articles

Lung cancer is the number one cause of cancer-related deaths in the world. Patients treated with current chemotherapies for non-small-cell lung cancers (NSCLCs) have a survival rate of approximately 15% after 5 years. Novel approaches are needed to treat this disease. We show elevated

Identification of novel ROS inducer by merging the fragments of piperlongumine and dicoumarol.

Only registered users can translate articles

A series of novel ROS inducers were designed by merging the fragments of piperlongumine and dicoumarol. Most of these derivatives showed potent in vitro activity against three cancer cell lines and good selectivity towards normal lung cells. The most potent and selective compound 3e was proven to
