OBJECTIVE
We tested the polyamine analog SL-11093 (3,8,13,18-tetraaza-10,11-[(E)-1,2-cyclopropyl]eicosane tetrahydrochloride) as an effective chemotherapeutic agent against human prostate cancer grown in nude mice.
METHODS
NCr-nu mice grafted with DU-145 human prostate tumor cells were treated i.p.
Although over 100 species of Curcuma are reported, only Curcuma longa is extensively studied. Curcuma raktakanda, a poorly studied species, is most commonly distributed in the Kerala state of India. For the first time, we examined the efficacy of different fractions (acetone, hexane,
14-Ethyl-2,5,11-trimethyl-4,13,19,20-tetraoxa-tricyclo[14.2.1.1(7,10)]eicosane-3,12-dione (MFTZ-1), a new macrolide compound isolated from Streptomyces sp. Is9131, displayed wide cytotoxicity in human tumor cell lines with an average IC(50) of 0.905 micromol/L. Notably, MFTZ-1 showed significant
The plant, Typhonium flagelliforme (Araceae), commonly known as the "rodent tuber" in Malaysia, is often used as an essential ingredient of herbal remedies for alternative cancer therapies. The hexane extract of this plant was evaluated for cytotoxic activity against in vitro culture on P388 murine
The advancement of positron emission tomography (PET) depends on the development of new radiotracers that will complement (18)F-FDG. Copper-64 ((64)Cu) is a promising PET radionuclide, particularly for antibody-targeted imaging, but the high in vivo lability of conventional chelates has limited its
