isopropanol/breast neoplasms

The purpose of this study was to optimize a method for the encapsulation of P5 peptide, a new designed peptide containing MHC class I epitopes from rat HER2/neu protein, into liposomes as an approach for breast cancer vaccine formulation. The efficiency of liposomal encapsulation of peptides is

Quercetin, kaempferol and isorhamnetin are the most important constituents in ginkgo flavonoids. A simple, rapid and sensitive high-performance liquid chromatography method was developed to simultaneously determine quercetin, kaempferol and isorhamnetin absorped by human breast cancer cells. Cells

OBJECTIVE Pharmacokinetic studies on liposomal drugs have previously measured total drug levels in tumors, which include non-bioavailable drug. However, drugs must be released from liposomes to have activity. We have developed a method for measuring levels of bioavailable (released) doxorubicin in

A novel in vivo imaging agent, 99mTc labeled [(N-[2-((3'-N'-propyl-[3,3,1]aza-bicyclononan-3alpha-yl)(2"-methoxy-5-methyl-phenylcarbamate)(2-mercaptoethyl)amino)acetyl]-2-aminoethanethiolato] technetium(V) oxide), [99mTc]2, displaying specific binding towards sigma-2 receptors was prepared and

A separation method using counter current chromatography coupled with an evaporative light-scattering detection system was developed to purify five triterpenoid saponins from the roots of Bupleurum falcatum. The methanol extract was loaded onto a Diaion® HP20 column and fractionated by a methanol

For the last decade, significant attention has been paid to the potential role of tocotrienols in prevention and therapy of breast cancer. Therefore, the aim of this study was to develop and validate analytical method for quantitative determination of tocotrienols (α-, β-, γ- and δ-tocotrienol) in

Aminoglutethimide (AG) has been used clinically as a drug in the treatment of hormone-dependent metastatic breast cancer. It was reported that S-(-)-AG enantiomer had small activity and sometimes might cause side effects. Therefore, it was of great significance to obtain the high-purity R-(+)-AG by

An accurate and specific liquid chromatographic method for the separation and analysis of the R(+) and S(-) enantiomers of both aminoglutethimide (AG) and its acetylated metabolite (AcAG) in plasma, saliva, and urine is described. The separation was achieved by use of two serial Chiralcel OD columns

Tocopherols and tocotrienols have been extensively studied owing to their anticancer potential, especially against breast cancer. Therefore, the aim of this study was to quantitatively determine tocochromanols in human breast adipose tissue with the use of HPLC-FLD. The sample preparation procedure

The aim of this study was to develop a systems approach to study tumor tissue. The importance of concurrent extraction of RNA, DNA, and protein is evident when genetic aberrations and the differences in the proteome and transcriptome have to be correlated. The need is magnified, as the tissue
