The 5'-hydroxymethylene function of several uracil and cytosine nucleosides has been modified to produce a variety of uronic acids, uronates, uronamides, and urononitriles of 2'-deoxy-beta-D-erythro-pentofuranosyl- and beta-D-arabino-pentofuranosylpyrimidines. In addition, the 5 position in many of
Reticuloendothelial system (RES)-avoiding liposomes are known to accumulate in tumor tissues due to passive targeting. Dipalmitoylphosphatidylfluorouridine (DPPF), a potent antitumor agent readily incorporated into the lipid bilayer, was embedded in RES-avoiding liposomes modified with a uronic acid
Long-circulating liposomes modified with a uronic-acid derivative, palmityl-D-glucuronide (PGIcUA), have been developed previously for the passive targeting of liposomes to tumor tissues. In this study, we examined the therapeutic effect of adriamycin (ADM) encapsulated in PGIcUA liposomes composed
Liposomes modified with the uronic acid derivative palmityl-D-glucuronide (PGlcUA) have a long circulation time and tend to accumulate in the tumors of tumor-bearing mice. Taking advantage of this character, we investigated the therapeutic effect of vincristine (VCR) encapsulated in liposomes
The effect of various glycosaminoglycans on the growth of cultured Tawa sarcoma cells (CTS cells) were determined under both fast and slow growth conditions. Hyaluronic acid, chondroitin, chondroitin 4-sulfate, and chondroitin 6-sulfate (all of which have only one type of uronic acid, glucuronic
Radix bupleuri, the root of Bupleuri spp., Chinese medicinal herbs used for the treatment of influenza, malaria and menstrual disorders, were extracted with hot water and separated into five different fractions (RB, RBI, RBII, RBIII and RBIV) by stepwise alcohol precipitation. One of these
In this study, the polysaccharides (PPs) from pomelo peels were investigated for their structural characteristics and antitumor mechanism on sarcoma S180-bearing mice. Components, FT-IR, and GC analysis showed that PPs, mainly composed of glucose, were typical acid polysaccharides with α-d-pyranoid
