Liver cancer is the fastest growing cause of cancer deaths in the United States due to its aggressiveness and lack of effective therapies. The current preclinical study examines valeric acid (pentanoic acid [C5H10O2]), one of the main compounds of valerian root
Over the recent years, several Re(I) organometallic compounds have been shown to be toxic to various cancer cell lines. However, these compounds lacked sufficient selectivity towards cancer tissues to be used as novel chemotherapeutic agents. In this study, we probe the potential of two known
A novel derivative of butyric acid, pivalyloxymethyl butyrate (AN-9) has been shown, in vitro, to: (a) induce cytodifferentiation and inhibit the proliferation of leukemic cells; (b) inhibit the growth and formation of Lewis lung carcinoma colonies in semi-solid agar. AN-9 affect cells at about
The objective of this study was to investigate functional and molecular evidence of carrier mediated system responsible for biotin uptake in breast cancer (T47D) cells and to delineate mechanism of intracellular regulation of this transporter. Cellular accumulation of [3H] biotin was studied in T47D
Gemfibrozil, a novel hypolipidemic agent identified chemically as 2,2-dimethyl-5-(2,5-xylyoxy) valeric acid, was evaluated for mutagenic potential in in vitro assays with Salmonella typhimurium. For evaluation of tumorigenic potential, gemfibrozil was administered in the diet (0.30, and 300 mg
Valproic acid is a branched, and short-chain fatty acid is a derivative of naturally occurring valeric acid. Valproic acid's primary use is as an anti-seizure medication, as well as in migraine, bipolar, mood, and anxiety disorders. Recent work has also demonstrated its efficacy as adjuvant therapy
Chronic inflammation caused by Helicobacter pylori infection increases the risk of developing gastric cancer. Even though the prevalence of H. pylori infection has been decreased in many regions, the development of antibiotic resistance strains has increased the difficulty of
