Thirty-nine patients received 600 mg/m2 OF MGBG intravenously every week for the treatment of advanced refractory ovarian cancer. Twenty-seven of these received adequate trials, and only two had partial remissions lasting 3 1/2 and 4 months each. Toxicity was substantial, with severe hematologic
It has been shown that alpha-glyoxal and its derivatives possess antivirus and antitumor activities. Eighteen new coumarin 3-glyoxal derivatives were synthesized in our laboratory. The fragmentation pattern of MS and the characteristic signals of 1HNMR of these compounds have also been studied. In
Putrescine is a potential scanning agent for metastases of prostatic carcinoma. We examined the in vivo uptake of [14C]-putrescine by the Dunning R3327H Copenhagen rat prostatic tumor and by other tissues, and conclude that: The uptake of [14C]-putrescine by the tumor was higher than that of the
The modifying effect of irsogladine maleate (IRG) on N-methyl-N-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine (MNNG)-initiated and glyoxal-promoted gastric carcinogenesis was examined in male Wistar rats. Six-week-old rats were divided into ten groups. Groups 1 through 6 were given MNNG (100 mg/l in drinking water) for
Bis(thiosemicarbazonato)copper(II) complexes are of interest as potential therapeutics for cancer and neurodegenerative diseases as well as imaging agents for positron emission tomography (PET). The cellular uptake of six bis(thiosemcarbazonato)copper(II)complexes derived from glyoxal, with
Nuclear DNA damage has been studied in detail, but much less is known concerning the occurrence and fate of nuclear protein damage. Glycoxidation, protein damage that results from a combination of protein glycation and oxidation, leads to the formation of protein-advanced glycation end products
Glycation of nucleotides in DNA forms AGEs (advanced glycation end-products). Nucleotide AGEs are: the imidazopurinone derivative dG-G [3-(2'-deoxyribosyl)-6,7-dihydro-6,7-dihydroxyimidazo[2,3-b]purin-9(8)one], CMdG ( N (2)-carboxymethyldeoxyguanosine) and gdC (5-glycolyldeoxycytidine) derived from
The aim of this study was to develop pH-responsive dextrin nanogels (DNGs) capable of triggered intracellular DOX release at the lower pH of cancer cells. DNGs were prepared by an emulsion cross-linking method using glyoxal as cross-linker to create an acid-labile bond. A higher molecular weight of
Glyoxalase I (GLO1) belongs to the glyoxalase system, which catalyzes the conversion of deleterious methylglyoxal, mainly produced by glycolysis, to non-toxic D-lactate. The expression of GLO1 was up-regulated in tumor tissues with high metabolic rate, whereas inhibition of GLO1 expression led to
From out histochemical studies, protein-sulfhydryl (SH) groups are found mainly concentrated in the nucleus and in cell nuclear membranes. Both clinically and in sensitivity tests, selected SH inhibitors have been found to be more active than other commonly used anticancer agents, against an array
We have tested methyl glyoxal bis-guanyl hydrazone (NSC 32946) for antitumor activity in patients with colorectal carcinoma and non-small cell bronchogenic carcinoma. The drug dose was 500 mg/m2 administered by single weekly injection, and with a provision dose escalation. No responses were seen in
Bis(thiosemicarbazones) and their copper (Cu) complexes possess unique anti-neoplastic properties. However, their mechanism of action remains unclear. We examined the structure-activity relationships of twelve bis(thiosemicarbazones) to elucidate factors regarding their anti-cancer efficacy.
Breast cancer is the leading cause of cancer mortality in women worldwide. Conventional cancer treatment is costly and results in many side effects. Dietary bioactive compounds may be a potential source for breast cancer prevention and treatment. In this scenario, the aim of this study was to
Efficacy of doxorubicin (DOX) in colorectal cancer treatment is limited by undesirable side-effects, which are partially due to nonspecific delivery DOX to the tumor target site. This study aimed to develop pH-responsive dextrin nanogels (DNGs) as anticancer drug carriers with pH-controlled drug
DJ-1 and its prokaryotic homologs, Hsp31, YhbO and YajL from Escherichia coli and PfpI from Pyrococcus furiosus, repair proteins from glycation by glyoxals (R-CO-CHO), which constitute their major glycating agents. Glycation is a non-enzymatic covalent reaction discovered by Louis Camille Maillard
