Xanthine oxidase inhibitors febuxostat and allopurinol are commonly used in the treatment of gout. Febuxostat inhibits the breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP) in vitro. Rosuvastatin is a BCRP substrate and genetic variability in BCRP markedly affects rosuvastatin pharmacokinetics. In this study,
Metabolomics analysis was used to determine the effect of two well known, non-proprietary metabolic modulators, dichloroacetate and allopurinol on breast cancer cell lines. Dichloroacetate, a pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase inhibitor and allopurinol, a xanthine oxidase/dehydrogenase inhibitor, have
Twenty patients with advanced carcinomas of the colorectum, pancreas, stomach, and breast were enrolled in a Phase I study of a sequential administration of 5-fluorouracil-leucovorin (FU-LV) combination followed by hydroxyurea (HU) with allopurinol protection (HALF regimen). As a weekly regimen for
Seventy-seven pre-treated patients with advanced breast cancer were administered a combination chemotherapy with cisplatin 50 mg/sqm d1, 5-fluorouracil 300 mg/sqm/d protracted continuous infusion d1-d28, allopurinol 600 mg/d po d1-d28, q29d. Overall response rate was 26%, median survival time 46
We tried to study the protection of allopurinol (HPP) from the toxicity of 5-fluorouracil (5-FU). A total of 29 patients received 74 cycles of chemotherapy (16 colon adenocarcinomas, 7 head and neck, 3 breast cancers and 3 cancers of pancreas). HPP was given 900 mg/day p.o. 4 days prior to
The prevalence of hyperuricemia/gout increases with aging. However, the effect of aging on function for excretion of uric acid to out of the body has not been clarified. We found that ileal uric acid clearance in middle-aged rats (11-12 months) was decreased compared with that in young rats (2
Hypercholesterolemia is reported to increase reactive oxygen species (ROS) and to promote breast cancer progression. ROS play an important role in tumor biology, and xanthine oxidase (XO) is an enzyme that generates ROS. The effects of febuxostat (FBX), an XO inhibitor, on breast cancer cell
Allopurinol, which lowers uric acid (UA) concentration, is increasingly being recognized for its benefits in cardiovascular and renal disease. However, response to allopurinol is variable. We gathered samples from 4,446 multiethnic subjects for a genome-wide association study of allopurinol
Nitrofluorenes and C-9-oxidized nitrofluorenes are widespread environmental genotoxins which may be relevant for breast cancer on the basis of their carcinogenicities, particularly of 2, 7-dinitrofluorene (2,7-diNF), for the rat mammary gland. Since their metabolism to active carcinogens may involve
Epidemiological evidence links alcohol intake with increased risk in breast cancer. Not all the characteristics of the correlation can be explained in terms of changes in hormonal factors. In this work, we explore the possibility that alcohol were activated to acetaldehyde and free radicals in situ
Tumor lysis syndrome (TLS) consists of acute hyperuricemic nephropathy, hyperphosphatemia, hypocalcemia, hyperkalemia, and increased serum creatinine. It can be part of the disease presentation, especially in aggressive hematologic malignancies, or a part of the chemotherapy response. There are
OBJECTIVE
Few studies have investigated the association between gout and cancer. The present study examined the relative risk of cancer in a nationwide cohort.
METHODS
The primary data source was the National Health Insurance database of Taiwan. Data recorded between 2000 and 2008 for subjects ≥20
MICA/B (the major histocompatibility antigen-related chain A and B) and Rae I are stress-inducible ligands for the immune-receptor NKG2D. Mechanisms by which genotoxic stress and DNA damage induce the expression of NKG2D ligands remain incompletely understood. Here, we report that inhibition of
