dodecane/悪性腫瘍

Application of the alkane n-dodecane to the dorsal skin of 6-8 week old female SENCAR mice initiated with 10 nmol dimethylbenz[a]anthracene led to papilloma formation in the majority of treated animals. Compared to the potent phorbol diester 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA), n-dodecane was

A biocompatible nanocomplex system co-encapsulated with gold nanorods (AuNRs) and doxorubicin (DOX) was investigated for its potentials on the combined photothermal- and chemotherapy.

Hydrophobic AuNRs were synthesized by the

Topical application of tumor-promoting agents to the dorsal skin of female SENCAR mice on a twice-weekly basis resulted in a reduction in density per unit area of bone marrow-derived Thy-1+ dendritic cells. Activity was observed for well-established tumor-promoting doses of promoting agents of

Linear alkanes of specific chain length between 6 and 16 carbon atoms, an aryl derivative of dodecane, and a phorbol diester were tested in a cell culture system for relative ability to enhance mutagenesis induced by a chemical carcinogen, methylazoxymethanol acetate (MAM). Mutation frequencies at

n-Dodecane, a previously little-studied tumor-promoting agent and mezerein, a diterpenoid natural product, have both been reported to have activity primarily in Stage II of two stage tumor promotion in SENCAR mouse skin. Histological changes in this tissue were therefore investigated in response to

Responses of various cells of the epidermis and dermis to topically applied agents have been implicated in the mechanism of multistage mouse tumorigenesis. These responses have been discussed almost entirely in the context of a single promoter treatment, although tumor expression is dependent on

Topical application of certain petroleum middle distillates (PMD) to mice produces skin tumors after long latency, and initiation/promotion protocols indicate that this effect is associated with their tumor promoting activity. Since induction of sustained, potentiated epidermal hyperplasia is

The alpha-anomer form of sulfoquinovosyl-monoacylglycerol with a saturated C18 fatty acid (alpha-SQMG-C(18:0)) is a natural sulfolipid that is a clinically promising antitumor agent. It forms vesicles, micelles or an emulsion in water, depending on several physicochemical conditions. The type of

Up-regulation of inducible form of nitric oxide (NO)-synthase and increased production of NO has been shown to occur in many pathological conditions associated with inflammatory responses. In this study we show that topical application of skin tumor promoters, which are known to produce inflammatory

New alkyl imidazoline derivatives have been synthesized as potential anti-cancer agents. The anti-proliferative activity of these compounds, evaluated against representative human haematological and solid neoplastic cell lines, showed that N, N'-di

There has been growing interest in exhaled breath analysis for cancer screening and disease monitoring; however, limited breath biomarker information exists regarding colorectal cancer (CRC). The objective of this study was to screen for breath biomarkers of CRC. Exhaled breath was collected from 20

In these recent years, magnetite (Fe3O4) has witnessed a growing interest in the scientific community as a potential material in various fields of application namely in catalysis, biosensing, hyperthermia treatments, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) contrast agents and drug delivery. Their unique

Hyperuralone A (1), a polycyclic polyprenylated acylphloroglucinol possessing an unprecedented tetracyclo-[5.3.1.1(4,9).0(4,11)]-dodecane core, was characterized from Hypericum uralum together with hyperuralone B (2), a congener with another complex caged skeleton. Their structures were determined

Biopanning of tumor cells was used in order to identify matrix metalloproteinase 9 (MMP-9) targeting peptides. The tumor cell targeting peptide (TCTP-1) and two modified versions thereof were evaluated as imaging agents for positron emission tomography (PET) using a rat melanoma xenograft model. For

Anticancer drug delivery systems are often limited by hurdles, such as off-target distribution, slow cellular internalization, limited lysosomal escape, and drug resistance. To overcome these limitations, we have developed a stable nitric oxide (NO)-releasing nanoparticle
