benzaldehyde/neoplasms

We have previously reported that sodium 5,6-benzylidene-L-ascorbate (SBA) induced dramatic antitumor activity in inoperable cancer patients, but induced only marginal tumor specificity in vitro. Here the tumor specificity and type of cell death induced by benzaldehyde (BA), a degradation product of

Fourteen dogs and 11 cats with various malignant tumors were treated daily with benzaldehyde at a dosage rate of 10 mg/kg of body weight, orally, divided into 4 doses. Clinical signs of toxicosis were not observed. A partial response (greater than 50% regression) was observed in animals with an oral

The palladium (II) bis-chelate Pd (L(1-3))(2) and platinum (II) tetranuclear Pt(4)(L(4))(4) complexes of benzaldehyde thiosemicarbazone derivatives have been synthesized, and characterized by elemental analysis and IR, FAB(+)-mass and NMR ((1)H, (13)C) spectroscopy. The complex Pd(L(2))(2) [HL(2) =

Carbon-based nanomaterials (CNMs) have attracted great attention in biomedical applications such as cancer imaging and therapy. CNMs, which are currently used in a wide range of applications, suffer from drawbacks of toxicity and low biocompatibility. Either noncovalent or covalent functionalization

A new poly-substituted benzaldehyde, 1, and a known compound quercetin (2) were isolated from the leaves of Lysimachia fordiana Oliv. The structure of compound 1, named fordianol, was determined as 2-heptyl-3,6-dihydroxy-4- methoxybenzaldehyde on the basis of spectroscopic methods. Fordianol did not

Thirty-one 2'-hydroxychalcones were prepared via solid-phase synthesis by base-catalyzed aldol condensation of substituted 2'-hydroxyacetophenones and benzaldehydes. Chalcones were tested for their growth inhibitory activity in three human tumor cell lines (MCF-7, NCI-H460 and A375-C5) using the SRB

Synergistic cancer therapy is of great interest for multiple advantages, such as excellent targeting accuracy, low side effects, and enhanced therapeutic efficiency. Herein, a near-infrared photosensitizer aza-BODIPY (AB) with high singlet oxygen quantum yield (ΦΔ = 82%) is designed and synthesized.

The traditional knowledge of medicinal plants that are in use by the indigenous Jaintia tribes residing in few isolated pockets of North-East India is documented here. The present study was carried out through the personal discussion with the president of the Jaintia Indigenous Herbal Medicine

In this study, six curcuminoids containing a tert-butoxycarbonyl (Boc) piperidone core were successfully synthesized, five of them are novel compounds reported here for the first time. These compounds were prepared through an aldolic condensation by adding tetrahydropyranyl-protected benzaldehydes

The cytosolic class aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH-3) present in human normal tissues/secretions is apparently much less able to catalyze the oxidation aldophosphamide to carboxyphosphamide than is the ALDH-3 present in human tumor cells/tissues, suggesting that the former may be less able to protect

OBJECTIVE The aim of these studies was to determine whether chemotherapy-resistant tumor cell sublines derived from a single starting cell population with identical treatment protocols, have the same mechanism of resistance. METHODS Twelve cyclophosphamide-resistant sublines were derived from KHT-iv

The inhibition of tumor-cell proliferationbyan organicsolvent extract from the solid-state fermentation of Phellinus baumii mycelia inoculated in rice medium was investigated in vitro. The active compounds inhibiting tumor-cell proliferation were characterized. Results revealed that all (petroleum

We have investigated core-crosslinked star polymer nanoparticles designed with tunable release chemistries as potential nanocarriers for a photoactive Re(i) organometallic complex. The nanoparticles consisted of a brush poly(oligo-ethylene glycol)methyl ether acrylate (POEGA) corona and a

Cytosolic class-3 aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH-3) may help to protect organisms from certain environmental aldehydes by catalysing their detoxification. Consistent with this notion are the reports that relatively high levels of this enzyme are present in tissues, e.g. stomach mucosa and lung, that

Benzaldehyde is an aromatic aldehyde used in the food, beverage, pharmaceutical, perfume, soap, and dyestuff industries. NTP Toxicology and Carcinogenesis studies were conducted by administering benzaldehyde (99% pure) in corn oil by gavage to groups of F344/N rats and B6C3F1 mice of each sex for 16
