gossypol/fever

An experiment was conducted using lonidamine and gossypol against Ehrlich tumour in the foot pad of CD-1 mice. These compounds alone were mild antitumour agents, but their cytotoxicity increased when they were combined with hyperthermia. The antitumor effect was further increased by

OBJECTIVE Retinoblastoma is a malignant tumor of the retina usually occurring in young children. To date, the conventional treatments for retinoblastoma have been enucleation, cryotherapy, external beam radiotherapy, or chemotherapy. Most of these treatments, however, have possible side effects,

Many cases of gossypol toxicity have been misdiagnosed. The long-held belief that gossypol toxicity did not occur in ruminants has been a major hurdle to overcome. Field necropsies in which pulmonary congestion and edema were attributed to shipping-fever pneumonia, failure to examine the heart

The effect of the association of gossypol and Lonidamine on the electron transport in Ehrlich ascites tumor mitochondria has been investigated by addition of drugs to isolated mitochondria. The results may be summarized as follows. (1) Low concentrations of gossypol increase the rate of oxygen

Gossypol, a polyphenolic aldehyde extracted from cotton plants, is a potent antifertility agent in humans. Since we have previously reported that several male antifertility agents including 5-thio-D-glucose and lonidamine demonstrate hyperthermic sensitizing effects in HeLa cells, we wished to
