potassium salt/neoplasms

The treatment of mice bearing i.m. B16 melanoma with equitoxic dosages of the clinically used 5-(3,3-dimethyl-1-triazeno)-imidazole-4-carboxamide (DTIC) and of its benzenoid water-soluble analogue p-(3,3-dimethyl-1-triazeno)benzoic acid potassium salt (DM-COOK) prior to surgical tumor removal

This study describes a comparison of 1-p-(3,3-dimethyl-1-triazeno)benzoic acid potassium salt (DM-COOK) and imidazole-4-carboxamide,5-(3,3-dimethyl-1-triazeno) (DTIC) with reference to antitumor activity on different murine tumors and hematological toxicity. DM-COOK appeared comparably or slightly

This study compares the anti-carcinogenic activity of calcium glucarate, potassium glucarate, and potassium glucuronate in cervix and esophagus induced cancer murine models. The cervical cancer induction was performed by tampons moistened with 0.1% solution of 7,12-dimethylbenz(a) anthracene (DMBA)

1-p-(3,3-dimethyl-1-triazeno) benzoic acid potassium salt (DM-COOK) was tested on M 5076/73A (M5) mouse sarcoma at a dose of 40 or 50 mg/kg/day (Days 6--14) after im transplant of 7 x 10(5) cells, with or without surgical removal of the primary tumor on Day 14. Treatment at either dose level

OBJECTIVE The primary aim of this work was to establish a radiolabeling procedure of vinblastine, a vinca alkaloid widely used in chemotherapy, with the positron-emitter carbon-11 for application in positron-emission-tomography (PET) studies in cancer patients. The optimized reaction conditions were

Metalation of 6-methyl-9-(tetrahydro-2H-pyran-2-yl)purine (10) with lithiating agents of varying basicities such as n-BuLi and LiHMDS in THF at -78 degrees C resulted in metalation at both of the 6-CH(3) moiety and the 8-CH position, irrespective of the molar equivalence of the base. On the other

The effects of a selective antimetastatic agent: the aryldimethyltriazene derivative 1-p-(3,3-dimethyl-1-triazeno)benzoic acid potassium salt (DM-COOK) have been examined on two in vitro tumor cell lines derived from lung metastases of Lewis lung carcinoma. These stabilized in vitro tumor cell lines

The effects of two selective antimetastatic agents, 1-p-(3,3-dimethyl-1-triazeno)benzoic acid potassium salt (DM-COOK), and (+/-)-1,2-di(3,5-dioxopiperazin-1-yl)propane, have been examined in comparison with those of a cytotoxic agent, cyclophosphamide, in mice bearing Lewis carcinoma.

The mutagenic activity of the antimetastatic agent p-(3,3-dimethyl-1-triazeno)benzoic acid potassium salt (DM-COOK) was studied in procaryotic cells and compared with that of dacarbazine (DTIC) which is clinically used in the management of human neoplasms. The results indicated that DM-COOK has a

The 1-p-(3-methyltriazeno) benzoic acid potassium salt (MTBA) is a triazeno analogue of dacarbazine, an antineoplastic agent capable of mediating the appearance of new antigenic specificities on cancer cells in mice, a phenomenon described as 'chemical xenogenization' (CX). Recently we reported the

The antitumor and antimetastatic effects of p-(3-methyl-1-triazeno)benzoic acid potassium salt (MM-COOK) as compared with those of the parent 3,3-dimethyl derivative (DM-COOK) were examined using Lewis lung carcinoma, MCa mammary carcinoma of the CBA mouse and TLX5 lymphoma. Similarly to DM-COOK,

Organoselenium compounds are well-known glutathione peroxidase (GPx) mimetics that possess antioxidants/prooxidant properties and are able to modulate the concentration of reactive oxygen species (ROS), preventing oxidative stress in normal cells or inducing ROS formation in cancer cells leading to

Ultraviolet (UV) radiation, especially types A (UVA) and B (UVB), is one of the main causes of skin disorders, including photoaging and skin cancer. Ultraviolent radiation causes oxidative stress, inflammation, p53 induction, DNA damage, mutagenesis, and oxidation of various molecules such as lipids

Boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) is a binary radiotherapy based on nuclear reactions that occur when boron-10 is irradiated with neutrons, which result in the ejection of high-energy alpha particles. Successful BNCT requires the efficient delivery of a boron-containing compound to effect high

Obesity is associated with cardiovascular disease, diabetes and certain forms of cancer. Popular strategies on weight loss often fail to address many key factors such as fat mass, muscle density, bone density, water mass, their inter-relationships and impact on energy production, body composition,
