hydroxamic acid/hypoxia

It was studied the effect of new blocker of lipoxygenase way of arachidontic acid metabolism--linoleyl-hydroxamic acid--on the status of lipid peroxidation and antioxidant system in blood, heart, liver, lung and brain in rats under acute hypoxic hypoxia. It was shows that preliminary introduction of

Co(III) complexes of simple hydroxamic acids have been evaluated as models of hypoxia activated prodrugs containing MMP inhibitors. The complexes are based upon a proposed carrier system comprising the tripodal tetradentate ligand tris(2-methylpyridyl)amine (tpa) with the hydroxamate functionality

Hypoxia stimulates excessive growth of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) contributing to vascular remodelling. Recent studies have shown that histone deacetylase inhibitors (HDIs) suppress VSMC proliferation and activate eNOS expression. However, the effects of HDI on hypoxia-induced VSMC growth

Aromatic analogues of the 2-oxoglutarate co-substrate of the hypoxia-inducible factor hydroxylases are shown to bind at the active site iron: Pyridine-2,4-dicarboxylate binds as anticipated with a single molecule chelating the iron in a bidentate manner. The binding mode of a hydroxamic acid

The discovery of hypoxia-inducible factor-1 has led to a rapidly increasing understanding of the molecular mechanism of tumor hypoxia in the past two decades. Today it is generally accepted that HIF-1 plays a pivotal role in the cellular response to tumor hypoxia which represents a major obstacle to

The purpose of this study was to examine whether histone deacetylase inhibitor suberoylanilide hydroxamic acid (SAHA; Zolinza/vorinostat) could sensitize tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL)-resistant breast carcinoma in vivo. BALB/c nude mice were orthotopically implanted

Recent reports have shown that Ca(2+)/calmodulin (Ca(2+)/CaM) signaling plays a crucial role in angiogenesis. We previously developed a new Ca(2+)/CaM antagonist, HBC (4-{3,5-bis-[2-(4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl)ethyl]-4,5-dihydropyrazol-1-yl}benzoic acid), from a curcumin-based synthetic chemical

Fe(III)-salen (N,N-bis(salicylidene)-ethane-1,2-diimine) complexes of simple hydroxamic acids and the MMP (matrix metalloproteinase) inhibitor marimastat have been evaluated as hypoxia activated drug carriers. The aceto- (aha), propion- (pha), benzohydroxamato (bha), and marimastat complexes were

BACKGROUND The pharmacological effects of hydroxamic acids (RC(O)NHOH, HX) are partially attributed to their ability to serve as HNO and/or NO donors under oxidative stress. Given the development and use of HXs as therapeutic agents, elucidation of the oxidation mechanism is needed for more educated

OBJECTIVE Clinically, the vascular pathobiology of human sickle cell disease includes an abnormal state of chronic inflammation and activation of the coagulation system. Since these biologies likely underlie development of vascular disease in sickle subjects, they offer attractive targets for novel

In experiments on the adult white laboratory rats the correlation of tissue respiration and some morpho- and stereometric characteristics of mitochondria in lung tissue under breathing by air and gas mixture with 7% O2 in N2 was investigated. The following agents were used as modulators:

The tumor microenvironment is characterized by a poor circulation which results in the selection of neoplastic cells that can grow or survive under hypoxic conditions. The relationship between hypoxia and histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitors has been previously established. In this work we

The pharmacological effects of hydroxamic acids are partially attributed to their ability to serve as HNO and/or NO donors under oxidative stress. Previously, it was concluded that oxidation of the histone deacetylase inhibitor suberoylanilide hydroxamic acid (SAHA) by the metmyoglobin/H2O2 reaction

BACKGROUND Epigenetic programming, dynamically regulated by histone acetylation, is a key mechanism regulating cell proliferation and survival. Little is known about the contribution of histone deacetylase (HDAC) activity to the development of pulmonary arterial hypertension, a condition

Sporadic human mismatch repair (MMR)-deficient colorectal cancers account for approximately 12.5% of all cases of colorectal cancer. MMR-deficient colorectal cancers are classically characterized by right-sided location, multifocality, mucinous histology, and lymphocytic infiltration. However,
