External magnetic field is characterized by low toxicity and existence of magnetic properties, which contributes to an interest in the development of products from ferromagnetic nanoparticles (FNP) for antitumor therapy. Previously we synthesized a conjugate of ferromagnetic magnetite nanoparticles
Safety of aviscumine by subcutaneous route was assessed in patients with advanced cancer refractory to chemotherapy. Patients with progressive disease received escalating doses twice weekly. Treatment of the accrued 26 patients (10 colorectal cancer (CRC), 6 soft tissue sarcoma (STS), 5 melanoma
Therapy of cancer with a Viscum extract has been carried out in Europe for over six decades in thousands of patients with uncertain advantages. This approach has been bedeviled by major problems such as variable composition of the extract, lack of knowledge of active component(s) and mechanism of
Cancer is the leading cause of death in industrialized countries. Cancer therapy often involves monoclonal antibodies or small-molecule drugs, but carbohydrate-binding lectins such as mistletoe (Viscum album) viscumin offer a potential alternative treatment strategy. Viscumin is toxic in mammalian
In Europe extracts from Viscum album L., the European white-berry mistletoe, are widely used as a complementary cancer therapy. Viscumins (mistletoe lectins, ML) have been scrutinized as important active components of mistletoe and exhibit a variety of anticancer effects such as stimulation of the
Viscum album lectin 1 (Viscumin) is one of the most important plant-based protein of potential adjuvant in cancer treatment. Therefore, the use of nano-biosensor technology as a novel emerges of biosensors is crucial to detect this modal agent in pharmacological study. Molecular imprinted polymer
Pancreatic adenocarcinoma confers one of the highest mortality rates in malignant human tumors with very poor prognosis. Because as yet no treatments are available that produce a substantial survival benefit for this fatal neoplasia, new therapeutic concepts are urgently required to support cancer
Iscador, a mistletoe preparation widely used in cancer chemotherapy, was found to contain a toxic component which is structurally and functionally closely related to viscumin. When antiviscumin was present in the medium, Vero cells were strongly, but not completely protected against Iscador. The
Aqueous extracts of mistletoe (Viscum album L.) contain toxic proteins (lectins) MLI (viscumin), MLII, and MLIII. We previously cloned the gene encoding MLIII precursor. In the present study, a gene fragment encoding the carbohydrate-binding subunit of mistletoe toxic lectin MLIII was cloned and
The mistletoe lectin viscumin (MLI) is a ribosome-inactivating protein from Viscum album widely used in cancer therapy. Its antitumor properties are due to its immunomodulating action, previously demonstrated in experiments involving intravenous, subcutaneous, and oral administration of viscumin. To
Lectins are proteins or glyco-proteins binding selectively and without the involvement of enzymes specific for carbohydrate ligands. Lectins are present in organisms on different levels of evolutionary development and play very important roles in life processes of these organisms. Lectins'
