Recent studies suggested that boron has a chemo-preventive role in prostate cancer. In the present report, we investigated the effects of calcium fructoborate (CF) and boric acid (BA) on activation of the apoptotic pathway in MDA-MB-231 human breast cancer cells. Exposure to BA and CF inhibited the
Borocaptate sodium (BSH) and L-boronophenylalanine (L-BPA) are two boron carriers used for boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) in the treatment of glioblastoma and melanoma, respectively. The suitability of these two compounds was evaluated on the basis of pharmacokinetic studies aiming at
Epidemiological, animal, and cell culture studies have identified boron as a chemopreventative agent in prostate cancer. The present objective was to identify boron-induced changes in the DU-145 human prostate cancer cell line. We show that prolonged exposure to pharmacologically-relevant levels of
Boric acid is a component of cosmetics and pharmaceuticals and is also used in numerous industrial processes. Earlier long-term studies did not demonstrate a carcinogenic effect in Sprague-Dawley rats. Because of potential widespread human exposure, corroborative evidence was sought in a second
The worldwide increase in the rate of cancer incidence also leads to a significant increase in the use of chemotherapeutic agents. Unfortunately, the optimal clinical usefulness of these agents is heavy restricted by a high incidence of several organ toxicity and as well reason oxidative stress and
Oxidative stress plays an important role during inflammatory diseases and antioxidant administration to diminish oxidative stress may arrest inflammatory processes. Boron has been implicated to modulate certain inflammatory mediators and regulate inflammatory processes. Here we investigated the role
A novel, green, and atom-economical boric acid catalyzed direct amidation without the use of any coupling agents for the preparation of suberoylanilide hydroxamic acid (SAHA) and SAHA-based inhibitors targeting anti-proliferation of cancer cells is provided. The new SAHA-based inhibitor B123, when
An ideal gene-carrying vector is supposed to exhibit outstanding gene-condensing capability with positively charged macromolecules to protect the carried gene during in vivo circulation and a rapid dissociation upon microenvironmental stimuli at the aimed sites to release the escorted gene.
Ovarian ischemia-reperfusion (IR) damage continues to be a serious infertility problem. The oxidative stress plays central role in the development of IR injuries. Activation of antioxidants decreases IR injuries; however, the efficacy of antioxidant agents remains controversial. A facile and atom-economical boric acid catalyzed direct amidation without any coupling agents for the preparation of Suberoylanilide Hydroxamic Acid (SAHA) and SAHA-based inhibitors targeting anti-proliferation of cancer cells is described. It is applicable to the preparation of SAHA-based
It has been shown in preliminary studies that the antibacterial protein avidin self-associates with the boric acid gel polymer, and avidin-coated gel particles in the micrometer and submicrometer size ranges are of interest for boron neutron-capture therapy (BNCT), which is neutron-induced fission
The current treatment system in cancer therapy, which includes chemotherapy/radiotherapy is expensive and often deleterious to surrounding healthy tissue. Presently, several medicinal plants and their constituents are in use to manage the development and progression of these diseases.They have been
OBJECTIVE
The aim was to study the effects of boric acid (BA) and 2-aminoethoxydiphenyl borate (2-APB) on oxidative stress and inflammation in an experimental necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) rat model.
METHODS
Experimental NEC was induced in 40 newborn Sprague-Dawley rats by asphyxia and hypothermia
The harmful use of alcohol is a worldwide problem involving all ages. This study aims to investigate chronic alcohol exposure related hepatotoxicity on the rat liver and possible hepatoprotective effects of boric acid. Rats were separated into 4 different groups: control, ethanol, ethanol+boric
BACKGROUND: The molecular mechanisms by which iron is physiologically transported trough the cellular membranes are still only partially understood. Several studies indicate that a reduction step of ferric iron to ferrous is necessary, both in the case of transferrin-mediated and
