A novel polymer-drug conjugate, polyethylene glycol-N-(acetyl)-glucosamine-doxorubicin (PEG-NAG-DOX) was evaluated in this study for its in vivo potential for treatment of tumours demonstrating improved efficacy and reduced toxicity. The proposed polymer-drug conjugate comprised of polyethylene
OBJECTIVE
Tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) is a potential anti-cancer agent due to its selective toxicity. However, many human non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cells are partially resistant to TRAIL, thereby limiting its clinical application. Therefore, there is a
The efficacy of glucosamine (GlcN) and N-acetyl glucosamine (GlcNAc) as agents for chemical exchange saturation transfer (CEST) magnetic resonance molecular imaging of tumors is demonstrated. Both agents reflect the metabolic activity and malignancy of the tumors. The method was tested in two types
A mini-library of symmetrical and unsymmetrical diglycosyl (di)sulfides, containing d-galactose, l-fucose and N-acetyl glucosamine units, were synthesized and tested for the antiproliferative activity against cervix carcinoma (HeLa) and melanoma (A375) tumor cell lines as well as healthy fibroblasts
Proton high-resolution MRS of human plasma allows the rapid detection, on the same spectrum, of many compounds originating from different metabolic pathways. In this paper, we illustrate the modifications of the plasma metabolic profiles recorded by proton NMR spectroscopy in different classes of
The authors have previously shown that cytokines delivered directly into malignant mesothelioma (MM) tumors can retard tumor growth and mediate tumor regression under certain conditions. In this report the authors compared the efficacy of serial intratumoral injections of three cytokines, GM-CSF,
Plant lectins are carbohydrate-binding proteins with nonimmune origin, which can reversibly bind with carbohydrates, agglutinate cells, and precipitate polysaccharides and glycoconjugates. Plant lectins have attracted much attention for their anti-virus, anti-proliferation, and pro-apoptosis
Present investigation is exploring structure-biocompatibility interaction of tumour targeted polyethylene glycol (PEG) based drug conjugate of doxorubicin using N-acetyl glucosamine as targeting ligand. The synthesized polymer drug conjugate was evaluated for particle size, zeta potential, molecular
Efficacy of anticancer drug is limited by the severe adverse effects induced by drug; therefore the crux is in designing delivery systems targeted only to cancer cells. Toward this objectives, we propose, synthesis of poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG)-doxorubicin (DOX) prodrug conjugates consisting
This study explores the potential of dendritic unimolecular nanoconstruct, PAMAM-Tryptophan-(N-acetylglucosamine) [PTN] as anti-cancer drug delivery system. The PAMAM dendrimers were modified with L-tryptophan and N-acetyl glucosamine (NAG) for higher drug loading and to utilize GLUT transporters,
The recent identification and molecular characterization of tumor antigens provides the opportunity to explore the rational development of peptide-based cancer vaccines. However, the response to these vaccines remains variable, and peptide-based cancer vaccines may even produce tolerance induction
SUMMARY: The recent identification and molecular characterization of tumor antigens provides the opportunity to explore the rational development of peptide-based cancer vaccines. However, the response to these vaccines remains variable, and peptide-based cancer vaccines may even produce tolerance
The metabolic reprogramming associated with characteristic increases in glucose and glutamine metabolism in advanced cancer is often ascribed to answering a higher demand for metabolic intermediates required for rapid tumor cell growth. Instead, recent discoveries have pointed to an alternative role
The incidence of breast cancer remarkably increases all over the world. Therefore, there is a great demand to introduce new approaches into cancer treatment field. The current study was designated to evaluate the role of doxorubicin (DOX) and/or thymoquinone (TQ) nanomatrix in potentiating the
O-GlcNAcylation (addition of N-acetyl-glucosamine on serine or threonine residues) is a post-translational modification that regulates stability, activity or localization of cytosolic and nuclear proteins. O-linked N-acetylgluocosmaine transferase (OGT) uses UDP-GlcNAc, produced in the hexosamine
