Normal female rat distribution studies showed high and specific uptake of 6-deoxy-6-[(131)I]iodo-L-ascorbic acid (6-(131)IAsA) into the adrenal glands, known to highly express the ascorbate sodium-dependent vitamin C transporter-2 (SVCT-2), and the adrenal gland was clearly visualized by whole-body
L-Ascorbic acid (vitamin C, AA) exhibits anti-cancer effects with high-dose treatment through the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and selective damage to cancer cells. The anti-cancer effects of L-ascorbic acid are determined by sodium-dependent vitamin C transporter 2 (SVCT-2), a
Lycium barbarum fruit has been used as a Chinese traditional medicine and dietary supplement for centuries. 2-O-β-D-Glucopyranosyl-L-ascorbic acid (AA-2βG), a novel stable vitamin C analog, is one of the main biologically active components of the fruit. In this report, we investigated the cytotoxic
Anticancer effects of L-ascorbic acid (Vitamin C, L-AA) have been reported in various types of cancers. L-AA intake reduces breast cancer recurrence and mortality; however, the role of L-AA in the treatment of breast cancer remains poorly understood. In this study, we investigated the effect and
Two series of 6-(1,2,3-triazolyl)-2,3-dibenzyl-l-ascorbic acid derivatives with the hydroxyethylene (8a-8u) and ethylidene linkers (10c-10p) were synthesized and evaluated for their antiproliferative activity against seven malignant tumor cell lines and antiviral activity against a broad range of
Keeping the potential synergy of biological activity of synthetic anomalous derivatives of deazapurines and l-ascorbic acid (l-AA) in mind, we have synthesized new 3-, 7- and 9-deazapurine derivatives of l-ascorbic (1-4, 8-10, 13-15) and imino-l-ascorbic acid (5-7, 11, 12, 16-19). These novel
Intravenous administration of high-dose ascorbic acid (AA) has been reported as a treatment for cancer patients. However, cancer patients with renal failure cannot receive this therapy because high-dose AA infusion can have side effects. To solve this problem, we evaluated the antitumor activity of
As a part of our efforts to develop potential imaging agents for ascorbate bioactivity, 5-O-(4-[(125)I]iodobenzyl)-L-ascorbic acid ([(125)I]1) was prepared through a two-step sequence which involved radioiodo-destannylation of a protected tributylstannyl precursor 6, followed by hydrolysis in acidic
Tumor metastasis and invasion were shown to be inhibited by the 2-O-phosphorylated form (Asc2P) of L-ascorbic acid (Asc); intact Asc did not inhibit tumor invasion when added once, but appreciably inhibited it upon repeated addition. The anti-metastatic effect is attributable to a marked enrichment
An investigation of changes in urine composition, morphology of bladder epithelium, and levels of DNA synthesis following 4 or 8 weeks oral administration of bladder tumor promoters or analogs without promotion potential was performed. The sodium salts of L-ascorbate, o-phenylphenate, and
The effect of high concentrations of L-ascorbic acid on the in vivo and in vitro growth of human neuroblastoma has been investigated. Directly implemented into cell culture it decreased the DNA, RNA and protein synthesis, and mitosis of neuroblastoma cells, without affecting normal neuronal cells.
L-Ascorbic acid is essential for many physiologic functions in animals and humans, mostly biochemical reactions involving oxidation. L-Ascorbic acid is approved for use as a dietary supplement and chemical preservative by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and is on the FDA's list of substances
Increasing evidence suggests that cancer patients express oxidative disturbances. The main objective of this cross-sectional case-control study (n = 57 + 76) was to explore whether lung cancer patients, when compared to healthy controls, have alterations in their plasma peroxyl radical trapping
Our previous study shows that 6-O-acyl derivatives of L-ascorbic acid inhibits more markedly cell growth of mouse Ehrlich carcinoma than ascorbic acid. The present study shows that 6-O-palmitoyl ascorbic acid but not ascorbic acid prolongs the lifespan of mice into which tumors such as Meth A
Previous studies have shown that beta-carotene and alpha-tocopherol can act synergistically to inhibit the growth of experimentally induced oral cancer. The initial studies on the synergistic anticancer activity of antioxidants have been extended to include reduced glutathione and ascorbic acid.
