sebacic acid/悪性腫瘍

It is found that hydroxythiamine ester with sebacic acid surpassed hydroxythiamine in its antitumour effect on Ehrlich ascites tumour in albino mice. A linear correlation is observed between the values of activity coefficients of hydroxythiamine and its esters with dicarboxylic acids and some

OBJECTIVE Antineoplastic RNAse proteins, also known as Amphibinases, have been shown effective against various solid tumors but were found selectively neurotoxic to Purkinje cells in the cerebellum. This work describes the use of a waxy biodegradable poly(ricinoleic-co-sebacic acid) for the local

Epirubicin (EPI) has strong cytotoxic activity that makes it a potential candidate for the treatment of malignant gliomas. To minimize toxicity and increase CNS penetration, EPI was incorporated into biodegradable polymers, and its in vitro and in vivo properties were studied. 9L, F98, C6, U251, and

Lactacystin, a proteasome-inhibitor, has been shown to induce apoptosis of experimental gliomas in vitro. However, its systemic toxicity prevents further clinical use. To circumvent this problem, lactacystin can be delivered intratumorally. We tested the efficacy of lactacystin incorporated into

Two approaches for improving the interstitial administration of carmustine (BCNU) using 3.8% loaded poly(carboxyphenoxypropane-sebacic acid), an implantable biodegradable anhydride which significantly prolongs survival in patients with recurrent malignant gliomas, were evaluated. First, increasing

Most malignant gliomas grow despite treatment by standard chemotherapeutic agents. The authors explored the use of an innovative drug, 4-hydroperoxycyclophosphamide (4HC), delivered via a controlled-release biodegradable polymer to determine whether local delivery would enhance efficacy. This drug

BACKGROUND Synthetic, implantable, biodegradable polymers offer the sustained local release of disparate therapeutic agents for the treatment of human malignant brain tumors. The role of polymeric devices for the local delivery of radiosensitizers remains unexplored, however. We therefore quantified

OBJECTIVE Carboplatin has shown promise experimentally as an antineoplastic agent against both primary central nervous system (CNS) tumors and several solid tumors that frequently metastasize to the brain. Unfortunately, carboplatin is limited in its clinical use for tumors in the CNS by systemic

BACKGROUND The role of chemotherapy for the treatment of squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck is limited by the systemic toxicity of chemotherapeutic agents. An attractive alternative is the controlled and sustained release of anticancer agents from a resorbable polymer delivery system that

Carbohydrates are attractive candidates for drug development because sugars are involved in many, if not most, complex human diseases including cancer, immune dysfunction, congenital disorders, and infectious diseases. Unfortunately, potential therapeutic benefits of sugar-based drugs are offset by

OBJECTIVE The thermosensitive micelles based on the poly(PEG:CPP:SA) terpolymer composed of poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG), 1,3-bis(carboxyphenoxy) propane (CPP) and sebacic acid (SA) were fabricated for application as a promising drug carrier. METHODS The terpolymer can self-assemble into micelles in

Intracranial studies to analyze the degradation kinetics of the bioerodible polymer poly[bis(p-carboxyphenoxy)propane-sebacic acid] [p(CPP-SA) 20:80] copolymer wafers were conducted in a rat model. Rats were separated into four groups: those receiving 1) polymer, 2) polymer loaded with the

Minocycline, a tetracycline derivative, has been shown to inhibit tumor angiogenesis through inhibitory effects on matrix metalloproteinases. Previous studies have shown this agent to be effective against a rodent brain tumor model when delivered intracranially and to potentiate the efficacy of

OBJECTIVE Endostatin is an anti-angiogenic agent that blocks matrix-metalloproteinase-2 and inhibits endothelial cell proliferation. Currently, endostatin is available through recombinant technology, which limits its broader use. In this study, a synthetic endostatin fragment (EF) was analyzed to

Nude mice were challenged with human U-87 MG glioblastoma tumors to assess the efficacy of different cytostatics and different application protocols. While the intraperitoneal application of BCNU solutions (3 times 20 mg BCNU/kg) had no effect on tumor growth, the application of polymer matrices
