Photothermal therapy (PTT) as an emerging technique for cancer treatment has drawn great attention owing to its minimally invasive nature. However, it is difficult to achieve a complete tumor regression due to the heterogeneous heat distribution over the tumor. Application of photothermal conversion
Various nanoformulations of perfluorocarbon have been developed thus far, to achieve ultrasound imaging of tumors and tumor-targeted therapy. However, their application has been greatly limited by their short sonographic duration and large size distribution. A novel theranostic agent was constructed
The objective of the present study was to repurpose L-menthol, which is frequently used in oral health and topical formulations, for cancer therapeutics. In this article, we argue that monoterpenes such as L-menthol might offer veritable potentials in systems medicine, for example, as cheaper
BACKGROUND
The topical antispasmodic agent l-menthol is useful for inhibiting gastric peristalsis during diagnostic upper gastrointestinal endoscopy. However, it remains unclear whether l-menthol is similarly effective during therapeutic endoscopy, thereby improving treatment outcomes in a clinical
Menthol is a naturally occurring cyclic monoterpene used in oral hygiene products, confectionary, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, pesticides, and as a flavoring agent. In the present study, we analyzed the differentially expressing proteome in L-menthol-treated Caco-2 cell line as it was found to
OBJECTIVE
Colonoscopy is one of the most reliable methods for the detection of colorectal neoplasms. However, colonic peristalsis during colonoscopy results in some neoplastic lesions being hidden from view and commonly requires an intravenous or intramuscular injection of antispasmodic agents,
OBJECTIVE
l-Menthol (LM), sprayed on the distal gastric mucosa, is a safe antispasmodic agent used during esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD). However, it seems to affect gastric mucosal endoscopic findings. Therefore, we evaluated whether LM causes specific changes and impacts the endoscopic
The chelate copper-based anticancer drug bleomycin (BLM) is usually believed to bind metal ions especially Cu(ii) to generate the "activated BLM" for DNA cleavage. Herein, BLM and L-menthol (LM) co-loaded hollow mesoporous Cu2-xS nanoparticles (HMCu2-xS NPs) with surface folic acid (FA) modification
Menthol, which creates mint flavor and scent, is often added to tobacco in both menthol and non-menthol cigarettes. 4-(methylnitrosamino)-1-(3-pyridyl)-1-butanone (NNK), a potent tobacco carcinogen, is extensively metabolized to its equally carcinogenic metabolite
The incorporation of chemo/photothermal/photodynamic therapy in subcellular organelles such as mitochondria has attracted extensive attention recently. Here, we designed mitochondria-targeted hollow mesoporous silica nanoparticles (THMSNs) loaded biocompatible phase-change material L-menthol (LM)
