The αvβ3 integrin, expressed on the surface of various normal and cancer cells, is involved in numerous physiologic processes such as angiogenesis, apoptosis, and bone resorption. Because this integrin plays a key role in angiogenesis and metastasis of human tumors, αvβ3 integrin ligands are of
Point mutations of c-ras genes were analyzed in human gastrointestinal cancers. DNA obtained from the tissues was amplified by polymerase chain reaction and then analyzed by dot blot hybridization assay with oligonucleotide probes to detect mutations at codons 12, 13, and 61 of c-Ki-ras, c-Ha-ras,
The interaction of tumor cells with extracellular matrix components such as laminin, fibronectin, and collagen has been shown to be mediated through a family of cell-surface receptors that specifically recognize an arginine-glycine-aspartic acid amino acid sequence within each protein. Triflavin, a
PEG-coated beta-FeOOH nanoparticles were prepared through electrostatic complex formation of iron oxide nanoparticles with poly(ethylene glycol)-poly(aspartic acid) block copolymer [PEG-P(Asp)] in distilled water. By dynamic light scattering (DLS) measurement, the nanopaticle size was determined to
A novel random copolypeptide of ornithine, arginine, glycine, and aspartic acid [Poly(ornithine-co-arginine-co-glycine-co-aspartic acid), Poly(O,R,G,D)] has been prepared through ring-opening polymerization of N-δ-carbobenzoxy-l-ornithine N-carboxyanhydride [Orn(Cbz)-NCA)], l-glycine
While N-phosphonacetyl-L-aspartic acid (PALA), an inhibitor of de novo pyrimidine biosynthesis, demonstrated a unique spectrum of activity during preclinical drug evaluation, multiple clinical trials have shown it to possess minimal clinical activity. One explanation for the disappointing results is
The interaction of analogs of L-aspartic acid with adenylosuccinic acid synthetase, L-asparagine synthetase, and L-aspartic acid transcarbamylase is discussed. Each of these enzymes is of critical importance in the economy of certain types of tumor cells. L-Alanosine, a new antitumor antibiotic, is
Point mutations at codons 12 and 13 of c-Ki-ras gene were analyzed in human pancreatic cancer. DNAs obtained from sample tissues were amplified by means of polymerase chain reaction and were analyzed by dot blot hybridization assays with oligonucleotide probes appropriate for detecting mutations at
The relationship between the adhesion of five human colorectal carcinoma cell lines to extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins, namely type I collagen, type IV collagen, fibronectin, laminin and basement membrane extract (Matrigel), and the ability of these cells to express morphological differentiation
Daunorubicin was bound to poly-L-aspartic acid via the methylketone side chain of the drug to avoid reaction of the sugar amino group believed to be essential for optimal drug activity. Attachment of the drug to the polyamino acid by an ester linkage was achieved by nucleophylic substitution
We conducted a multicenter phase II trial in patients with advanced colorectal cancer to investigate the antitumor efficacy of double alternate modulation of high-dose infusional 5-fluorouracil (5FU) (60 mg/kg/48 h = 2400 mg/m(2)/48 h) by interferon alpha-2b (IFN alpha) (10 MU/dose s.c. prior to and
The use of biodegradable polymeric nanoparticles (NPs) for controlled drug delivery has shown significant therapeutic potential. Polyaspartic acid and polylactic acid are the most intensively studied biodegradable polymers. In the present study, novel amphiphilic biodegradable co-polymer NPs,
Quantum dots (QDs) conjugated with arginine-glycine-aspartic acid (RGD) peptides (which are integrin antagonists) are novel nanomaterials with the unique optical property of high molar extinction coefficient, and they have potential utility as photosensitizers in photodynamic therapy (PDT). Our
OBJECTIVE
To investigate mechanism-directed regimens in maximizing the efficacy of fluorouracil (5-FU) in advanced colorected cancer.
METHODS
Based on promising phase II data, a randomized comparison of various methods for the biochemical modulation of 5-FU was undertaken in patients with advanced
Placental extract contains several biologically active compounds, and pharmacological induction of placental extract has therapeutic effects, such as improving liver function in patients with hepatitis or cirrhosis. Here, we searched for novel molecules with an anti-tumor activity in placental
