1-p-(3,3-dimethyl-1-triazeno) benzoic acid potassium salt (DM-COOK) was tested on M 5076/73A (M5) mouse sarcoma at a dose of 40 or 50 mg/kg/day (Days 6--14) after im transplant of 7 x 10(5) cells, with or without surgical removal of the primary tumor on Day 14. Treatment at either dose level

The pharmacokinetics of the anticancer agent p-(3,3-dimethyl-1-triazeno) benzoic acid (pCOOH-DMT), a drug now in phase I clinical trial in Europe, was investigated in C57Bl female mice with M5076 reticulum-cell sarcoma that were treated i.v. with 200 mg/kg pCOOH-DMT. The drug disappeared from plasma

The treatment of mice bearing i.m. B16 melanoma with equitoxic dosages of the clinically used 5-(3,3-dimethyl-1-triazeno)-imidazole-4-carboxamide (DTIC) and of its benzenoid water-soluble analogue p-(3,3-dimethyl-1-triazeno)benzoic acid potassium salt (DM-COOK) prior to surgical tumor removal

Three newly synthesized benzoic acid derivatives (terephthalic acid anilides, chalcone carboxylic acid, and azobenzene carboxylic acid), with a certain structural similarity to retinoic acid, were examined for their retinoid-like bioactivity and their capacity to bind to cellular retinoid binding

Our previous study shows that 6-O-acyl derivatives of L-ascorbic acid inhibits more markedly cell growth of mouse Ehrlich carcinoma than ascorbic acid. The present study shows that 6-O-palmitoyl ascorbic acid but not ascorbic acid prolongs the lifespan of mice into which tumors such as Meth A

Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is causally associated with nasopharyngeal carcinoma, 10% of gastric carcinoma and various B cell lymphomas 1 . EBV infects both B cells and epithelial cells 2 . Recently, we reported that epidermal growth factor and Neuropilin 1 markedly enhanced EBV entry into

High-pressure liquid chromatography in combination with field desorption mass spectrometry as techniques of high specificity and sensitivity have been applied to the identification and quantitation of the anticancer drug methotrexate and its metabolites which occur in clinical high-dose therapy.

Quantitative structure--activity relationships have been fomulated for 27 aromatic nitrogen mustards derived from benzoic acids (9 monosubstituted and 18 disubstituted derivatives). Their toxicity (LD50) and antitumor activity against Jensen sarcoma were correlated with hydrolysis rate (log k66)

8-Hydroxy-2-[2-(3-hydroxy-4-methoxyphenyl)ethenyl]-7-quinoline carboxylic acid and 8-hydroxy-2-[2-(3-methoxy-4-hydroxyphenyl)ethenyl]-7-quinoline carboxylic acid inhibit the processing and strand transfer reactions catalyzed by HIV-1 integrase with an IC50 of 2 microM. Some of their spectral

Twenty-seven new derivatives of the 3-N,N-bis-(2-chlorethyl)-amino-4-methyl-benzoic-acid were synthesized and pharmacologically examined. The compounds showed to be highly active in the in vitro-vivo screening models (Crocker sarcoma 180, Sa-180; Friend virus leukemia, FVL) but less active in the in

Amyloid fibrils are self-propagating entities that spread pathology in several devastating disorders including Alzheimer's disease (AD). In AD, amyloid-β (Aβ) peptides form extracellular plaques that contribute to cognitive decline. One potential therapeutic strategy is to develop inhibitors that
