4 demethyl epipodophyllotoxin/悪性腫瘍

The chemopreventive effect of topical application of 4'-demethyl epipodophyllotoxin (DMEP), an antimitotic agent, on a two-stage skin carcinogenesis model in Swiss Albino mice induced by 9, 10-dimethylbenz[a]anthracene (DMBA)/12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA) was investigated. Two topical

BACKGROUND Tumor cell resistance to anticancer drugs is the primary reason for treatment failure in childhood cancer. Resistance can exist at the onset of treatment or can become clinically apparent under selective pressure of drug exposure. In vitro predictive tests are important for the

Since 1970, we have carried out cancer chemotherapy and immunotherapy in cooperation with Japanese scientists, particularly Prof. H. Umezawa, who has generously supplied bleomycin, peplomycin, acalcinomycin A (ACM), THP-adriamycin (THP), neothramycin and bestatin. Malignant tumors curable by

Numerous investigators have reported on a variety of chemotherapeutic agents tested in children suffering from recurrent medulloblastoma, brain stem glioma, and ependymoma, in efforts to improve survival and reduce morbidity. Evaluation of such studies is difficult, because there were rarely more

The antitumor activities of several glucuronide methyl esters of podophyllum derivatives were tested in vitro against two human tumor cell lines and their drug resistant sublines. The most active compound studied was methyl (4'-carbobenzoxy-4'-demethyl-epipodophyllotoxin-D-glucopyranoside)uronat e

Described are primary treatment protocols for 1) those patients with gorssly unresectable stage III or IV ovarian carcinoma, considered reasonable candidates for therapeutic trials aimed at the identification of antitumor activity as determined by the regression of objectively evaluable lesions; and

GP7 (4-[4"-(2",2",6",6"-tetramethyl-l"-piperidinyloxy)amino]-4'-demethyl epipodophyllotoxin), a new spin-labeled derivative of podophyllotoxin, is a promising anticancer drug of podophyllotoxin class. The primary effect of GP7 is the anticancer activity on transplanted mouse tumors and cultured

Four new nitroxyl labeled derivatives of podophyllotoxin, 4-(2, 2, 6, 6-tetramethyl-1-oxyl-4-piperidyl)oxy-epipodophyllotoxin (4), 4-(2, 2, 6, 6-tetramethyl-1-oxyl-4-piperidyl)oxy-4'-demethylepipodophyllotoxin (5), 4-(2, 2, 5, 5-tetramethyl-1-oxyl-3-pyrrolinyl)formyloxy-epipodophyllotox in (6) and
