Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) has been reported to be correlated with high expression of proliferation markers as well as constitutive activation of metastasis-relevant signaling pathways. For many years, breast cancer researchers have been investigating specific and effective methods to
1. This study has two specific aims: (a) to compare the antioestrogenic activity of two steroidal analogues of 17 beta-oestradiol, the 7 alpha-alkylamide, ICI 164,384 and the 7 alpha-alkylsulphinylamide, ICI 182,780, with that of the triphenylethylene-derived compound 4OH-tamoxifen on a pool of
The agonistic/antagonistic properties of two non-steroidal antiestrogens, namely trans-4-monohydroxytamoxifen (OH-TAM) and keoxifene (LY156758), and the new steroidal antiestrogen ICI164384, a 7 alpha-alkylamide derivative of estradiol (E2), were assessed by measuring their effect on the
Doxorubicin (DOX) is an important medicine for the treatment of breast cancer, which is the most frequently diagnosed and the most lethal cancer in women worldwide. However, the clinical use of DOX is impeded by serious toxic effects such as cardiomyopathy and congestive heart failure. Covalently
Carbazole derivatives show anti-cancer activity and are of great interest for drug development. In this study, we synthesized and analyzed several new alkylamide derivatives of racemocin B, a natural indolo[3,2-a]carbazole molecule originally isolated from the green alga Caulerpa racemose. Several
Estrogens play an important role in the development of breast cancer. Inhibiting 17beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1 (17beta-HSD1)--the enzyme responsible for the last step in the biosynthesis of the most potent estrogen, estradiol (E2)--would thus allow hindering the growth of
Hormone-sensitive diseases such as breast cancer are health problems of major importance in North America and Europe. Endocrine therapies using antiestrogens for the treatment and the prevention of breast cancer are presently under clinical trials. Antiestrogens are drugs that compete with estrogens
Previous studies in this laboratory identified a series of 7 alpha-alkylamide analogues of 17 beta-oestradiol which are pure antioestrogens. Among this initial lead series of compounds, exemplified by ICI 164,384, none was of sufficient in vivo potency to merit serious consideration as a candidate
Previous studies from this laboratory have described a series of 7 alpha-alkylamide analogues of estradiol with pure antiestrogenic activity, exemplified by ICI 164,384. A new compound, 7 alpha-[9-(4,4,5,5,5-pentafluoropentylsulfinyl)nonyl]estra-1,3,5(10 )- triene-3,17 beta-diol (ICI 182,780) has
