OBJECTIVE
C-labeled 2-amino-2-methyl-butanoic acid (Iva) was previously reported to provide high tumor uptake; however, the pharmacokinetic properties of C-labeled Iva have not been characterized. In the present study, we evaluated the potential of [C]Iva as a PET probe for tumor
Bioassay-guided fractionation of a commercial sample of African mango (Irvingia gabonensis) that was later shown to be contaminated with goji berry (Lycium sp.) led to the isolation of a new pyrrole alkaloid, methyl 2-[2-formyl-5-(hydroxymethyl)-1H-pyrrol-1-yl]propanoate, 1, along with seven known
Eight 14C-labelled analogues of alpha-aminoisobutyric acid (AIB) were synthesized using the modified Bucherer technique to investigate their tissue distribution in Ehrlich tumour bearing mice. A structure-activity relationship within a series of AIB analogues was found; increasing the chain length
The carcinogenic tobacco-specific nitrosamines 4-(methylnitrosamino)-1-(3-pyridyl)-1-butanone (NNK) and N'-nitrosonornicotine (NNN) are believed to play a role in cancers associated with the use of tobacco products. Urinary metabolites of NNK and NNN could be used as biomarkers for an individual's
4-(Methylnitrosamino)-1-(3-pyridyl)-1-butanone (NNK, 1) is a potent tobacco-specific lung carcinogen believed to play a key role in the development of lung cancer in smokers. Metabolic activation of NNK to DNA damaging reactive intermediates proceeds via α-hydroxylation pathways. The end products of
Six organotin(IV) carboxylates of the type R2SnL2 [R=CH3 (1), n-C4H9 (2), n-C8H17 (3)] and R3SnL [R=CH3 (4), n-C4H9 (5), C6H5 (6), where L=2-(4-ethoxybenzylidene) butanoic acid, have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, FT-IR and NMR ((1)H, (13)C). The complex (1) was also
Mitomycin C (MIT-C) is one of the most potent antineoplastic agents used for the treatment of breast cancer and a wide variety of malignant tumors. However, administration of MIT-C is frequently accompanied by the delayed onset of severe myelosuppression We have synthesized a new series of MIT-C
Increasing evidences suggested that cisplatin can be involved in a tumor-specific immune response as an immunomodulator to improve antitumor immunity, but the designation and development are limited. Here, we report a series of novel Pt(IV) complexes derived from the conjugation of platinum(II)
The unique metabolic demand of cancer cells suggests a new therapeutic strategy targeting the metabolism in cancers. V9302 is a recently reported inhibitor of ASCT2 amino acid transporter which shows promising antitumor activity by blocking glutamine uptake. However, its poor solubility in aqueous
DL-2-hydroxy-(4-methylthio)butanoic acid (HMTBA) is a source of dietary methionine (Met) that is widely used in poultry nutrition. We have previously shown that HMTBA is preferentially diverted to the transsulfuration pathway, which gives antioxidant metabolites such as taurine and glutathione.
The chlorambucil isomer 4-[3-[N,N-bis(2-chloroethyl)amino]phenyl] butanoic acid (m-chlorambucil) has been synthesized for the first time, and the two isometric nitro derivatives of both m-chlorambucil and chlorambucil itself have been prepared as potential hypoxia-selective cytotoxins. Reduction
Non-Hodgkin lymphoma symbolizes a heterogeneous group of diseases resulting from malignant transformation of lymphocytes with differing patterns of behavior and responses to treatment. The potential curability of non-Hodgkin lymphoma differs among the various histologic subtypes and is associated in
4-(Methylnitrosamino)-1-(3-pyridyl)-1-butanone (NNK) is a potent lung carcinogen present in both unburned tobacco and cigarette smoke. The sum of 4-(methylnitrosamino)-1-(3-pyridyl)-1-butanol (NNAL) and its glucuronides, referred to as total NNAL, is an established urinary biomarker of human NNK
g-Butyrolactone is an intermediate in the synthesis of polymers used as film formers in hair sprays, blood plasma extenders, and clarifying agents in beer and wine. Toxicology and carcinogenesis studies were conducted by administering g-butyrolactone (greater than 97% pure) in corn oil by gavage to
