The human T-cell leukemia virus type-1 (HTLV-1)-associated adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma (ATL) is incurable by currently known therapies. ATL samples and cell lines derived from ATL patients show restricted sensitivity to tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) and CD95

Multiple myeloma (MM) is an incurable malignancy by the presently known therapies. TRAIL is a promising anticancer agent that virtually not shows any toxicity to normal cells. We have recently carried out clinical trials with a human circularly permuted TRAIL, CPT, against MM saw a partial response

With an increasing cancer rate worldwide, there is an urgent quest for the improvement of anticancer drugs. One of the main problems of present chemotherapy in treatment of tumor patients is the toxicity of drugs. Most of the existent anticancer drugs, unfortunately, attack also proliferating normal

Although most of the patients with Hodgkin's lymphoma (HL) can be cured by the current regimen of high-dose multiagent chemotherapy, the treatment causes high risks of later toxicities including secondary malignancies. Therefore, new rational strategies are needed for HL treatment. Tumor necrosis

Thirteen naturally occurring 1H-cyclopenta[b]benzofuran lignans of the rocaglamide type as well as one naturally occurring aglain congener all of them isolated from three Aglaia species (Aglaia duperreana, A. oligophylla and A. spectabilis) collected in Vietnam were studied for their

Identification of agents that target human leukemia stem cells is an important consideration for the development of new therapies. The present study demonstrates that rocaglamide and silvestrol, closely related natural products from the flavagline class of compounds, are able to preferentially kill
