Lung cancer, primarily non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), is the leading cause of cancer mortality and the prognosis of patients with advanced or metastatic NSCLC is poor. Despite significant advances in diagnosis and treatment, little improvement has been seen in NSCLC mortality. Recently,
Patient survival depends on the completeness of resection of peritoneal ovarian cancer metastases (POCM), and therefore, it is important to develop methods to enhance detection. Previous probe designs based on activatable galactosyl human serum albumin (hGSA)-fluorophore pairs, which target lectin
This study was designed to investigate the interaction of three oxovanadium (IV) Schiff base complexes with bovine serum albumin (BSA) by means of various spectroscopic and electrochemical methods along with molecular docking study and molecular dynamics simulations. Binding constants were estimated
Since its approval by the FDA, Abraxane™ has been established as a clinical standard of paclitaxel (PTX)-based therapy against a variety of cancers. Despite success, Abraxane™ is still limited by suboptimal biodistribution, unfavorable pharmacokinetics and chronic toxicities from chloroform used
A new cyclic peptide containing the isoDGR motif that, after coupling to albumin, selectively binds αvβ3, an integrin overexpressed in the tumor vasculature. IsoDGR-tagged albumin binds tumor vessels and can be exploited as a carrier for the preparation of tumor vasculature-selective nanomedicines,
The enhanced permeability and retention (EPR) effect is a unique phenomenon of solid tumors, and it can serve as a basis for the development of macromolecular anticancer therapy. We have previously found that recombinant human serum albumin dimer, and especially its S-nitrosated form
Prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) continues to be an active biomarker for small-molecule PSMA-targeted imaging and therapeutic agents for prostate cancer and various non-prostatic tumors that are characterized by PSMA expression on their neovasculature. One of the challenges for
Traditional spherical albumin nanoparticles remain as the dominant shape of nano-carriers described in the literature at present, due to their simple desolvation method of synthesis. However, non-spherical shapes also show great promise as cancer drug delivery vectors. In this study, we report a
Glycosylated platinum(IV) complexes were synthesized as substrates for GLUTs and OCTs for the first time, and the cytotoxicity and detailed mechanism were determined in vitro and in vivo. Galactoside Pt(IV), glucoside Pt(IV), and mannoside Pt(IV) were highly cytotoxic and showed specific
BACKGROUND
Lung cancer and Pulmonary tuberculosis are two major public health problems associated with significant morbidity and mortality worldwide particularly in low and middle income countries like India. Wrong diagnosis of lung cancer cases as pulmonary tuberculosis in primary health care
Small interfering RNA (siRNA)-based gene silencing strategy has high potential on suppressing specific molecular targets, involved in cancer progression. However, the lack of an effective nanocarrier system that safely delivers siRNA to its target still limits the clinical applications of siRNA.
Hypoalbuminemia, a frequent finding in cancer patients, can be demonstrated in the tumor-bearing rat. In actuality, the circulating amount of albumin is maintained in tumor-bearing rats, although total body water and plasma volume are increased. The fractional degradation rate of newly synthesized
The 3-5 year survival rates of patients with disseminated Ewing's sarcoma (ES) or the closely related peripheral primitive neuroectodermal tumors (PNET) remain low, even under aggressive treatment involving highly toxic multidrug chemotherapeutic regimens. ES and PNET are sensitive to doxorubicin,
OBJECTIVE
Cyclic arginine-glycine-aspartic acid (RGD) peptide-anchored sterically stabilized albumin nanospheres (RGD-SN) have been investigated for the selective and preferential presentation of carrier contents at angiogenic endothelial cells overexpressing a(v) b(3) integrins on and around tumour
131I-labeled macroaggregates were injected into the femoral artery of rats bearing a Yoshida sarcoma at the lower extremity and of healthy control animals. The radioactivity was measured in tissue samples taken from the tumour and in unaffected muscle tissue. The tumour tissue showed a considerably
