Structural modifications to the photoinactive benzophenoxazine Nile blue A have led to three novel derivatives which include 5-ethylamino-9-diethylaminobenzo[a]phenoxazinium (EtNBA), 5-ethylamino-9-diethylaminobenzo[a]phenothiazinium (EtNBS), and 5-ethylamino-9-diethylaminobenzo[a]phenoselenazinium
OBJECTIVE
One enzyme/prodrug combination that has the potential to be used in virally directed enzyme/prodrug therapy (VDEPT) is the obligate 2-electron reducing enzyme, DT-diaphorase (NQO1), with bioreductive agents such as EO9. The present studies were undertaken to determine if this enzyme, as
Kaposi's sarcoma (KS) is a tumor of presumed vascular origin frequently found in patients with AIDS. Recent data suggest that the development of KS is linked with the presence of a newly recognized herpesvirus, human herpesvirus type 8. Nitric oxide (NO), a messenger molecule with vasoactive,
We investigated co-adaptation of enzymatic systems of cells using data on activity of NAD(Ph)-dependent enzymes and AgNOR proteins of vascular endothelium vis-a-vis angiogenesis in benign and malignant smooth muscle tumors of the corpus uteri. Overall metabolic activity (NAD-H2 diaphorase) was found
Cigarette smoking is one of the most significant public health issues and the most common environmental cause of preventable cancer deaths worldwide. EGFR (Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor)-targeted therapy has been used in the treatment of LC (lung cancer), mainly caused by the carcinogens in
In cells of human embryo skin--muscle tissue transformed by the Rouse sarcoma virus (23rd cell line) and polyoma virus (P-2 cell line), the mitotic activity was 48 0/00 for 23rd line, 51 0/00 for P-2 line as against 28 0/00 in the control cells. The transformed cells possessed greater amounts of RNA
The activity of a group of respiratory enzymes was studied in normal menopausal as well as benign and malignant tumours. A decrease in the activity of succinic dehydrogenase, diphosphopyridine nucleotide diaphorase and cytochrome oxidase in malignant tumours especially in spindle cell sarcoma and
BACKGROUND
Despite substantial improvements in childhood cancer survival, drug resistance remains problematic for several paediatric tumour types. The urgent need to access novel agents to treat drug-resistant disease should be expedited by pre-clinical evaluation of paediatric tumour models during
