trithione/neoplasms

The chemopreventive efficacy of N-acetyl-L-cysteine (NAC), anethole trithione, miconazole and phenethylisothiocyanate (PEITC), each of which would be expected to alter carcinogen metabolism, was examined in the dimethylbenzanthracene (DMBA) mammary carcinogenesis model. In this protocol, animals

Large bowel cancer is one of the leading causes of cancer deaths in the United States and other Western countries. Based on epidemiologic and mechanistic studies, preclinical studies were designed to evaluate the chemopreventive efficacy of several nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and

To address the thereapeutic challenges in clinical cancer treatment and guarantee efficient and rapid intracellular delivery of drugs while evading efflux and chemotherapy resistance, herein, we designed a liposomal nanostructure equipped with superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIOs) and

It has been reported that several naturally occurring and related synthetic organosulfur compounds exert chemopreventive effects in several target organs in rodent models. The chemopreventive actions of 40 and 80% maximum tolerated doses (MTD) of organosulfur compounds, namely anethole trithione,

Salivary gland hypofunction occurs most often as a consequence of numerous drug therapies, anti-neoplastic treatments, or systemic disease. There are no universally accepted means of treating gland dysfunction and the resultant subjective xerostomia. A few studies have suggested that treatment of

Previously, we developed a 30-day transformation assay (focus inhibition, FIA) of rat tracheal epithelial (RTE) cells to identify cancer preventive agents. This study reports nuclear density (ND) as a morphometric biomarker for efficacy evaluation of at an early stage before transformed foci appear.
