Digitoxin elicits anti-inflammatory and vasoprotective properties in endothelial cells: Therapeutic implications for the treatment of atherosclerosis?

Only registered users can translate articles

Pro-inflammatory processes initiated in the endothelium represent a crucial step in the pathogenesis of inflammatory cardiovascular disease, such as atherosclerosis. Recent observations pointed to potential anti-inflammatory properties of the cardiac glycoside digitoxin. Therefore, the present study

Effects of digitoxin on cell migration in ovarian cancer inflammatory microenvironment.

Only registered users can translate articles

Clinical and experimental evidence supports a role for cardiac glycosides (CGs) as potential novel anticancer drugs. However, there are no studies reporting the effect of CGs on the inflammatory tumor microenvironment (TME), which plays a central role in tumor progression and invasiveness. We

Digitoxin for Airway Inflammation in Cystic Fibrosis: Preliminary Assessment of Safety, Pharmacokinetics, and Dose Finding.

Only registered users can translate articles

BACKGROUND Cystic fibrosis (CF) lung disease progresses by a combination of airway inflammation, bacterial colonization, and infection. Airway inflammation is predominantly neutrophilic and complicates airway clearance therapies through cellular debris; excessive DNA; excessive and viscous mucus;

A neutrophil multitarget functional bioassay to detect anti-inflammatory natural products.

Only registered users can translate articles

A multitarget functional bioassay was optimized as a method for detecting substances interacting with the inflammatory process of activated neutrophil granulocytes, mainly to release elastase detected by p-nitroanilide (pNA) formation. Using this bioassay, 100 fractionated extracts of 96 plants were

Digitoxin mimics gene therapy with CFTR and suppresses hypersecretion of IL-8 from cystic fibrosis lung epithelial cells.

Only registered users can translate articles

Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a fatal, autosomal, recessive genetic disease that is characterized by profound lung inflammation. The inflammatory process is believed to be caused by massive overproduction of the proinflammatory protein IL-8, and the high levels of IL-8 in the CF lung are therefore

Digitoxin Inhibits Epithelial-to-Mesenchymal-Transition in Hereditary Castration Resistant Prostate Cancer.

Only registered users can translate articles

Castration Resistant Prostate Cancer (CRPC) is thought to be driven by a collaborative mechanism between TNFα/NFκB and TGFβ signaling, leading to inflammation, Epithelial-to-Mesenchymal-Transition (EMT), and metastasis. Initially, TGFβ is a tumor suppressor, but in advanced metastatic disease it

Evaluation of the binding interaction between bovine serum albumin and dimethyl fumarate, an anti-inflammatory drug by multispectroscopic methods.

Only registered users can translate articles

The information of the quenching reaction of bovine serum albumin with dimethyl fumarate is obtained by multi-spectroscopic methods. The number of binding sites, n and binding constants, KA were determined at different temperatures. The effect of increasing temperature on Stern-Volmer quenching

[BNP elevation due to a subdural hematoma - misled by a biomarker].

Only registered users can translate articles

METHODS A 73-year-old man with a mechanical aortic valve and a history of congestive heart failure was admitted to our hospital with an unspecifically reduced general condition. Physical examination was normal according to age apart from mechanic valve closure tones and a 2/6 sytolic murmur at Erb's

Survival and prognosis: investigation of Crataegus extract WS 1442 in congestive heart failure (SPICE)--rationale, study design and study protocol.

Only registered users can translate articles

SPICE is the first, international, randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind study to investigate the influence of the herbal drug Crataegus Special Extract WS 1442 (hawthorn leaves with flowers) on mortality of patients suffering from congestive heart failure. BACKGROUND In vitro and

Effect of adaptive steroids on the impairment of hepatic drug metabolic activity caused by hepatotoxic agents.

Only registered users can translate articles

Hepatic disfunction was produced in female rats by ethanol, carbon tetrachloride, dimethyl mercury or Freund's Adjuvant. This disfunction was expressed by increased SGPT, liver triglycerides level, and reduced resistance to zoxazolamine, digitoxin and indomethacin. Treatment with spironolactone,

Alpha 1-acid glycoprotein and serum binding of drugs in healthy and diseased dogs.

Only registered users can translate articles

Inter-individual variation in drug serum protein binding was studied in healthy dogs and in dogs with inflammatory diseases for lidocaine, oxprenolol and propranolol, which bind mainly to alpha 1-acid glycoprotein (alpha 1-AGP), and for diazepam, digitoxin and phenytoin, which bind mainly to

Effects of antacids on the clinical pharmacokinetics of drugs. An update.

Only registered users can translate articles

Since a previous review by Hurwitz was published in 1977 a large number of reports on drug interactions with antacids have appeared, few of which are of clinical relevance. Tetracyclines form insoluble complex molecules by metal ion chelation with various antacids; tetracycline absorption may be

Digoxin treatment is associated with an increased incidence of breast cancer: a population-based case-control study.

Only registered users can translate articles

BACKGROUND Laboratory and epidemiologic studies have suggested a modifying effect of cardiac glycosides (for example, digoxin and digitoxin) on cancer risk. We explored the association between digoxin treatment and invasive breast cancer incidence among postmenopausal Danish women. METHODS We used

Gene therapy-emulating small molecule treatments in cystic fibrosis airway epithelial cells and patients.

Only registered users can translate articles

Several small molecule corrector and potentiator drugs have recently been licensed for Cystic Fibrosis (CF) therapy. However, other aspects of the disease, especially inflammation, are less effectively treated by these drugs. We hypothesized that small molecule drugs could function
