acetic acid/fever

BACKGROUND Ultrasound-guided percutaneous acetic acid injection (PAI) therapy is effective for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Posttreatment fever (>37.5 degrees C) may occur owing to acetic acid-induced tumor necrosis, but its incidence and clinical significance are not clear. METHODS A total of

The in vivo interaction between flavone acetic acid (FAA) and hyperthermia was studied in a C3H mammary carcinoma grown in the feet of female CDF1 mice and in normal foot skin. FAA was intraperitoneally injected prior to local tissue heating in restrained non-anaesthetized animals. Alone, FAA at

The combined effects of flavone acetic acid (FAA), a synthetic flavonoid, and hyperthermia on B16 melanoma cells were investigated. In vitro, FAA alone at concentrations below 100 micrograms/ml was not cytotoxic with a 60-min exposure at 37 degrees C. Hyperthermia at 43 degrees C for 60 min enhanced

The combined effects of flavone acetic acid (FAA), hydralazine (HYD) and hyperthermia on B16 melanoma cells and solid tumor were examined in vitro and in vivo. In vitro, hyperthermia did not enhance the cytotoxicity of the combined use of FAA and HYD. In vivo, growth inhibition of B16 melanoma solid

Flavone acetic acid (FAA) has shown the effectiveness of vasoactive drugs in the selective reduction of tumor blood flow. A FAA-mediated decrease in tumor blood flow may produce sufficient hypoxic conditions within the tumor. Carboquone (CQ), a naturally occurring prototype bioreductive alkylating

Flavone acetic acid (FAA, NSC 347512) is known to selectively reduce tumor blood flow. Taking advantage of this pharmacodynamic effect, we have previously shown that FAA in combination with hyperthermia (HT) can produce a marked improvement in antitumor response in mice. In the present study, we

The potential of the vascular targeting agent 5,6-dimethylxanthenone-4-acetic acid (DMXAA) to enhance the effect of hyperthermia was investigated in a C3H mouse mammary carcinoma grown in the feet of female CDF1 mice and in normal foot skin. DMXAA, when injected intraperitoneally in restrained

Transient receptor potential vanilloid 1 receptors (TRPV1) play a significant physiological role. The study of novel TRPV1 agonists and antagonists is essential. Here, we report on the characterization of polypeptide antagonists of TRPV1 based on in vitro and in vivo experiments. We evaluated the

OBJECTIVE To investigate the efficacy of ethanolic extract of nilavembu kudineer choornam (EENKC) in inflammation, pain and fever using animal models to support its actions. METHODS Acute toxicity study of EENKC was performed in mice to fix the effective dose. The antipyretic, anti-inflammatory and

Antagonists of the vanilloid receptor TRPV1 (transient receptor potential vanilloid type 1) have been reported to produce antihyperalgesic effects in animal models of pain. These antagonists, however, also caused concomitant hyperthermia in rodents, dogs, monkeys, and humans. Antagonist-induced

A magnetic resonance (MR) technique is developed to produce controlled radio-frequency (RF) hyperthermia (HT) in subcutaneously-implanted 9L-gliosarcoma in Fisher rats using an MR scanner and its components; the scanner is also simultaneously used to monitor the tumour temperature and the metabolic

Although a highly effective vaccine is available, the number of yellow fever cases has increased over the past two decades, which highlights the pressing need for antiviral therapeutics. In a high throughput screening campaign, we identified an acetic acid benzodiazepine (BDAA) compound, which

A novel pregabalin derivative named as pregsal ((S,E)-3-(((2-hydroxybenzylidene)amino)methyl)-5-methylhexanoic acid) was synthesized by a simple imination reaction between pregabalin and salicylaldehyde and was evaluated in the in vivo testing paradigms. The compound was characterized by UV, IR, 1
