Dendritic cells (DC) manipulated ex vivo can induce tumor immunity in experimental murine tumor models. To improve DC-based tumor vaccination, we studied whether DC maturation affects the T cell-activating potential in vitro and the induction of tumor immunity in vivo. Maturation of murine bone
2'-Deoxy-2'-methylidenecytidine (DMDC) is a new 2'-deoxycytidine (dCyd) antimetabolite. The present study compared its antitumor activities with those of 2',2'-difluorodeoxy-cytidine (gemcitabine) in 15 human cancer xenograft models. DMDC was highly resistant to cytidine (Cyd) deaminase, which
RX-3117 (fluorocyclopentenylcytosine) is a cytidine analog and this class of drugs, including gemcitabine, has been widely used for the treatment of various types of cancers. However, there is no oral formulation of gemcitabine and drug resistance to gemcitabine is common. In this study, the
The effect of the antitumor drug MDL 101,731 [(E)-2'-deoxy-2'-(fluoromethylene)cytidine] on tumor growth and on steady-state vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) mRNA levels in MDA-MB-231, PC-3, MCF-7, and HT-29 human tumor xenografts grown in nude mice was examined, using quantitative in situ
Beta-L-Dioxolane-cytidine (BCH-4556) is a novel anticancer nucleoside analogue with a stereochemically unnatural beta-L configuration. This compound was previously shown to have a potent antitumor activity in human prostate and hepatocellular xenograft tumor models (K. L. Grove et al., Cancer Res.,
5-Trifluoromethyl-2'-deoxycytidine (F3methyl-dCyd), when coadministered with tetrahydrouridine (H4Urd), surpasses the efficacy of 5-trifluorothymidine and 5-trifluoromethyl-2'-deoxycytidine when administered alone as demonstrated with adenocarcinoma 755 and Lewis lung carcinoma as solid tumors
Antitumor and radiosensitizing effects of (E)-2'-deoxy-2'-(fluoromethylene) cytidine (FMdC), a novel inhibitor of ribonucleotide reductase, were evaluated on nude mice bearing s.c. human C33-A cervix cancer and U-87 MG glioblastoma xenografts. FMdC given once daily has a dose-dependent antitumor
A nucleosidic medicine, 1-(3-C-ethynyl-β-D-ribo-pentofuranosyl)cytosine [3'-ethynylcytidine (ECyd)], is a potent inhibitor of RNA polymerase I and shows anticancer activity to various human solid tumors in vitro and in vivo. ECyd is phosphorylated to 3'-ethyntlcytidine 5'-monophosphate by
TAS-106 [1-(3-C-ethynyl-beta-D-ribo-pentofuranosyl)cytosine] is a new anticancer ribo-nucleoside with promising antitumor activity. We have previously presented evidence suggesting that the TAS-106 sensitivity of cells is correlated with intracellular accumulation of the triphosphate of TAS-106,
BACKGROUND
Dendritic cells (DCs) play an important role in immune response and cytidine-phosphate-guanosine (CpG) oligodeoxynucleotides (ODN) as well as interferon (IFN)-alpha have been proven to induce DC maturation. In this study, the synergistic effects of CpG-ODN and IFN-alpha on DC maturation
Dendritic cells (DC) are potent antigen-presenting cells that elicit immune responses to foreign antigens. We have previously demonstrated the synergistic effects of cytidine-phosphate-guanosine (CpG) oligodeoxynucleotides (ODN) and interferon (IFN)-alpha on DC maturation in vitro. In the present
OBJECTIVE
Troxacitabine (beta-L-dioxolane cytidine, BCH-4556; Troxatyl, BioChem Pharma Inc.) is a novel nucleoside analogue, which in experiments demonstrated potent antitumor activity against both leukemias and solid tumors. Since troxacitabine is a cytidine nucleoside analogue like AraC
l-1,3-Dioxolane-cytidine, a potent anticancer agent against leukemia, has limited efficacy against solid tumors, perhaps due to its hydrophilicity. Herein, a library of prodrugs were synthesized to optimize in vitro antitumor activity against non-small cell lung cancer. N4-Substituted fatty acid
Natural killer (NK) cells target and kill tumor cells by direct anti-tumor cytotoxicity. NK lytic-associated molecule (NKLAM) is a protein involved in this cytolytic function. Acting as an E3 ubiquitin ligase, NKLAM binds to and ubiquitinates a novel protein, uridine-cytidine kinase like-1 (UCKL-1),
OBJECTIVE
To evaluate safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of a new nucleoside analogue, tezacitabine [(E)-2'-deoxy-2'-(fluoromethylene)cytidine (FMdC)] in patients with refractory solid tumors.
METHODS
Seventy patients were enrolled in four separate Phase I trials. Patients had metastatic or
