Improved methods for attaching radioiodine to monoclonal antibodies have been developed. Ten aryl carbohydrate adducts were synthesized by the reductive amination of a carbohydrate with an aryl amine, using sodium cyanoborohydride as a reducing agent. After purification by chromatography and
Carbohydrate-conjugated fluorescent silica nanoprobes were prepared and used as a platform for galectin-1 and prostate cancer cell detection. The nanoparticles were efficiently conjugated using native, unprotected carbohydrate structures following a photochemical approach, resulting in lactose- and
A novel Entadin lectin was isolated, purified, and characterized from the seeds of Entada rheedii by ammonium sulfate precipitation, followed by lactose affinity chromatography. On sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, the purified Entadin lectin appeared as a single band
5-Fluorouracil (5-FU), in association with leucovorin (LV), is the most used chemotherapy agent in the treatment of colorectal cancer. Response rate, as well as side-effect incidence, increases with the dose intensity of regimens that are used. The most common dose-limiting toxicity for 5-FU/LV
Dietary fiber is believed to decrease the incidence of colorectal cancer, but not all types of fiber are equally protective. Dietary fibers may be divided broadly into insoluble and soluble fibers, and there is evidence from animal experiments that the latter not only fails to protect against
BACKGROUND
It had been demonstrated that sugars from various plants can act as potent agents, which induce apoptosis of cancer cells.
METHODS
Using HPLC, we fractionated a mixture of two plant extracts from the plant family Solanaceae, namely Capsicum chinense and the plant family Amaryllidaceae
BACKGROUND
5-Fluorouracil (FU) in association with folinic acid (FA) is the most frequently used chemotherapeutic agent in colorectal cancer but it often causes diarrhoea. Animal and human studies suggest that glutamine stimulates intestinal mucosal growth.
OBJECTIVE
To determine if oral glutamine
Selective delivery of cytotoxic anti-neoplastic drugs can diminish the severe side-effects associated with these drugs. Many malignant tumours express high levels of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) receptors on their membranes. Therefore, LDL may be used as a carrier to obtain selective delivery of
Evidence is growing that the carbohydrate portion of glycoconjugates is not merely an inert structural addition to the protein or lipid background, but is involved in normal and altered physiological processes. Conjugation of the potentially bioactive carbohydrate ligand to an inert labeled carrier
