Could hydroxychloroquine and quinacrine antimalarial therapy for dermatomyositis later attributed to a paraneoplasic manifestation of an ovarian cancer enhance its subsequent response to chemotherapy? Five months after being diagnosed with dermatomyositis, while somewhat improved with
Artemisinin is a sesquiterpene lactone endoperoxide, obtained from Artemisia annua, and extensively used as an antimalarial drug. Many studies have reported the genotoxic and cytotoxic effects of artemisinins; however, there are no studies that compare such effects between cancer cell lines and
The purpose of this study was to identify conditions that will increase the sensitivity of resistant cancer cells to anti-mitotic drugs. Currently, atovaquine (ATO), chloroquine (CHL), primaquine (PRI), mefloquine (MEF), artesunate (ART), and doxycycline (DOY) are the most commonly used
Substances like imidazoles, benzimidazoles and also quinolines, whose chemical structure includes a heterocyclic nitrogen, are known to interfere with the microsomal oxidation and, in some cases, with the metabolism of drugs. Since chloroquine and primaquine exert this effect in vivo and in vitro,
A series of artemisinin-spermidine conjugates designed to utilise the upregulated polyamine transporter found in cancer cells have been prepared. These conjugates were evaluated against human promyelocytic leukaemia HL-60 cells and chloroquine-sensitive 3D7 Plasmodium falciparum and several show
Despite immense interest in using antimalarials as autophagy inhibitors to treat cancer, it remains unclear whether these agents act predominantly via autophagy inhibition or whether other pathways direct their anti-cancer properties. By comparing the treatment effects of the antimalarials
Colchicine (COL) is a well-known and potent microtubule targeting anticancer agent. The purpose of our study was to identify conditions that increase sensitization of COL-resistant cancer cells that overexpress P-glycoprotein (P-gp).
The anti-malarial drugs chloroquine (CHL), mefloquine (MEF) and
The anti-malarial activity of the cancer chemotherapeutic agent cisplatin and cisplatin analogues was determined in Plasmodium falciparum. The cisplatin analogues included DNA-targeted acridine-tethered platinum compounds, carboplatin and transplatin. A [(3)H]-hypoxanthine incorporation assay was
Artemisia annua belongs to the asteraceae family, indigenous to the mild climate of Asia. The aim of this study was to overview its anti-malarial properties, immunosuppressive properties, anti-inflammatory properties and anti-cancer properties. This systematic review was carried out by searching
The antimalarial drug Pyrimethamine has been suggested to exert an antitumor activity by inducing apoptotic cell death in cancer cells, including metastatic melanoma cells. However, the dose of Pyrimethamine to be considered as an anticancer agent appears to be significantly higher than the maximum
Cinnamic acids and quinolines are known as useful scaffolds in the discovery of antitumor agents. Therefore, N-cinnamoylated analogues of chloroquine, recently reported as potent dual-action antimalarials, were evaluated against three different cancer cell lines: MKN-28, Caco-2, and MCF-7. All
BACKGROUND
In our work, we evaluate the potential antioxidant, antimalarial activity and also activity against human breast cancer cells (MCF7) of Argan fruit extracts using in vitro models to validate the traditional use of this plant. Its chemical composition was also studied to begin the
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most common type of primary liver cancer, and is the third most frequent cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide. The development of safe new anti-tumor agents has become increasingly important due to the steady rise in drug-resistant tumors. After assessing
The histones of Plasmodium falciparum represent a potential new target for anti-malarial compounds. A naturally occurring compound, apicidin, has recently been shown to inhibit the in vitro growth of P. falciparum. Apicidin was shown to hyperacetylate histones, suggesting that its mode of action is
OBJECTIVE
The anti-malarial drug chloroquine (CQ) is also known as an autophagy inhibitor. Autophagy can promote tumor growth by fueling the necessary energy metabolism and inducing resistance to chemotherapy and/or irradiation in various human cancers. However, the role of autophagy in endometrial
