Inorganic nanoparticles with unique physical properties have been explored as nanomedicines for brain tumor treatment. However, the clinical applications of the inorganic formulations are often hindered by the biological barriers and failure to be bioeliminated. The size of the nanoparticle is an
A panel of eight human pancreatic tumour cell lines displayed high intrinsic radioresistance, with mean inactivation doses between 2.4 and 6.5 Gy, similar to those reported for melanoma and glioblastoma. The radiosensitising potency of sodium nitroprusside, a bioreductive nitric oxide donor, was
Background: CuS-modified hollow mesoporous organosilica nanoparticles (HMON@CuS) have been preferred as non-invasive treatment for cancer, as near infrared (NIR)-induced photo-thermal effect (PTT) and/or photo-dynamic effect (PDT) could
BACKGROUND
Prostate cancer is the second most common cause of mortality. Gallic acid (GA) is a natural polyphenol, and we tested its in-vitro cytotoxicity after 24 h in prostate cancer LNCaP cells.
METHODS
GA autoxidation was measured fluorimetrically for H(2)O(2), and O(2)(•-) radicals by
A series of novel curcumin analogs, symmetrical dienones, were previously shown to possess cytotoxic, anti-angiogenic and anti-tumor activities. Analogs 1 (EF24) and 2 (EF31) share the dienone scaffold and serve as Michael acceptors. We propose that the anti-cancer effects of 1 and 2 are mediated in
Intra-articular injection of hyaluronic acid (HA) has been widely accepted for the treatment of osteoarthritis (OA) in early stage. l-Glutathione (GSH), an antioxidant, has an anti-inflammatory effect on protecting cells from reactive oxygen species and reactive nitrogen species (ROS/RNS). In this
The objective is to determine whether methyl 2-cyano-3,11-dioxo-18b-olean-1,12-dien-30-oate (CDODA-Me) has therapeutic potential in bladder cancer. We investigated the effects of CDODA-Me on the growth and survival of bladder cancer cells, and expression of specificity protein (Sp) transcription
In this study, we investigated the synergistic effect of L-buthionine sulfoximine (BSO) on the chlorin e6 (Ce6)-based photodynamic therapy (PDT) of cancer cells. Among various cancer cells, HCT116 cells have highest intracellular L-glutathione (GSH) level and SNU478 cells showed the lowest GSH
Chemotherapy as a conventional cancer treatment suffers from critical systemic side effects, which is generally considered as the consequence of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Fullerenes have been widely studied for their excellent performance in radicals scavenging. In the present study, we report
We studied the cytotoxicity of Ag nanoclusters (Ag NCs) capped by the enantiomers l-glutathione (l-GSH) and d-glutathione (d-GSH) synthesized using the mild reduction agent tetrabutylammonium borohydride. The as-synthesized Ag NCs were characterized by HRTEM and UV-visible, photoluminescence and
The phenotypes of the human renal epithelial cell lines, SK-NEP-1 and G401 (Wilm's tumour lines) and ACHN, A498, A704, Caki-1 and Caki-2 (renal adenocarcinomas), were investigated in order to develop as toxicological model systems, human renal cell lines showing properties similar to those found in
The physical properties of cyclic and linear polymers are markedly different; however, there are few examples which exploit these differences in clinical applications. In this study, we demonstrate that self-assemblies comprised of cyclic-linear graft copolymers are significantly more stable than
Accurate evaluation of the anti-cancer effects of ouabain, a cardiac glycoside, requires an understanding of its signaling pathway. This study examined the effects of ouabain stimulation on spontaneous interleukin (IL)-8 and IL-1α secretion in the HSC3 oral squamous cell carcinoma cell line. IL-8
Photodynamic therapy is an advanced method of treating cancer and various benign diseases, including infections. It uses light-activated molecules [photosensitizers (PSs)] to generate reactive oxygen species (ROS) when irradiated with light of a specific wavelength. This study examined the
Metal-based drugs remain a tiny minority of all drugs that are on the market. The success story of the quintessential metal-based drug cisplatin (CP), which is intravenously administered to 70% of all cancer patients, however, demonstrates the inherent potential of metal-based drugs. A distinct
