Bioinspired macromolecules can aid nucleation and crystallisation of minerals by mirroring processes observed in nature. Specifically, the iron oxide magnetite (Fe3O4) is produced in a dedicated liposome (called a magnetosome) within magnetic bacteria. This process is controlled by a suite of
We developed a novel hyperthermia material for cancer therapy, cationic albumin-conjugated magnetite nanoparticles (MNPs), which absorb the energy of an alternating magnetic field and convert it into heat. MNPs of about 10 nm were synthesised through co-precipitation, and citric acid was used to
Lonidamine (LND), an indazole-carboxylic acid derivative, was delivered alone and together with adriamycin (ADM) or hyperthermia to the human melanoma cell line M14, and cell survival was assessed. Cell cycle-specific effects were investigated by analyzing sequences of DNA content histograms by
The purpose of this study is to reinvestigate the heat shock response in cells treated with the antimetabolite azetidine-2-carboxylic acid (azetidine), an analogue of proline. Previous studies could not clearly discriminate between the progressive thermosensitization caused by amino acid analogues
Lonidamine is a dechlorinated derivative of indazole-3-carboxylic acid which preclinically synergizes with hyperthermia. Clinically, this nonmyelosuppressive drug (given p.o. daily) is active as a single agent in a variety of malignancies. On this basis, a Phase I study which incorporates a drug
The effect of association of hyperthermia with the anti-inflammatory drug rhein (RH), 4,5-dihydroxyanthraquinone-2-carboxylic acid, on the clonogenic activity of human glioma cells has been examined. RH inhibits neoplastic growth mainly through an ATP depletion, but thermal cell killing is not
The human melanoma cell line M14 has been proven in previous experiments to be much less sensitive to the action of heat (42 degrees C, 60 min) than other melanoma lines. In the present study, we have investigated the possibility of increasing the effect of heat by means of drug treatment.
Owing to their high saturation magnetisation, cobalt nanoparticles hold significant potential for the hyperthermia treatment of tumours. Covalent binding of carboxylic acids to the nanoparticles can induce biocompatibility, whilst also preventing the formation of surface oxides which reduce the
Lonidamine or 1-[(2, 4-dichlorophenyl) methyl]-1H-indazole-3-carboxylic acid, studied in a battery of in vitro and in vivo tests currently used for the screening of anti-tumour agents affecting cell division, has been shown to have a narrow spectrum of anti-tumour activity. The significance of this
The stress-induced hyperthermia test is a paradigm developed several years ago to model the expression of autonomic hyperactivity in anxiety. Whereas in the classical stress-induced hyperthermia, cohort removal was used, in a recently described modification of the stress-induced hyperthermia model
Host odours play a major role in the orientation and host location of blood-feeding mosquitoes. Anopheles gambiae Giles sensu stricto, which is the most important malaria vector in Africa, is a highly anthropophilic mosquito species, and the host-seeking behaviour of the females of this mosquito is
Magnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (MNPs) have been extensively utilized in a wide range of biomedical applications including magnetic hyperthermia agent. To improve the efficiency of the MNPs in therapeutic applications, in this study, we have synthesized CoFe2O4 nanoparticles and its surface was
The amino acid analog azetidine-2-carboxylic acid (azetidine) is a potent sensitizer to both hyperthermia and ionizing radiation. Incubation of H35 hepatoma cells with 2.5 mM azetidine before or after treatments with X-rays causes a time- and sequence-dependent enhancement of cell killing. Exposure
Synthesis of p-substituted benzyl esters of (+/-) cis 2,2-dimethyl-3-(2,2-dichlorovinyl)cyclopropane-carboxylic acid has been reported. (+/-) cis Dichlorovinyl acid esters of p-substituted phenols acquired insecticidal activity after introduction of methylene group. The insecticidal activity shown
RS-37619 showed highly potent analgesic activity when given p.o. in tests utilizing underlying inflammation. It inhibited phenylquinone-induced writhing in the mouse and rat (350 and 180 x aspirin respectively) and the pain induced by flexing the adjuvant-inflamed rat paw (approximately 800 x
