Photonic cancer hyperthermia has been considered to be one of the most representative noninvasive cancer treatments with high therapeutic efficiency and biosafety. However, it still remains a crucial challenge to develop efficient photothermal nanoagents with satisfactory photothermal performance

Antimony one of the heavier pnictogens, has been in medical use against microbes and parasites as well. Antimony-based drugs have been prescribed against leishmaniasis since the parasitic transmission of the tropical disease was understood in the beginning of the 20th century. The activity of

The doped semiconductor nanocrystal with free holes in valence band exhibits strong near-infrared (NIR) local surface plasmon resonance effects, which is essential for photothermal agents. Herein, the hydrophilic Sb doped SnO₂ nanocrystals were successfully prepared by a simple

(Diphenylphosphinodithioato) diphenylantimony (III), Ph2SbS2PPh2 (1) and (diisopropylphosphorodithioato) diphenylantimony(III), Ph2SbS2P(OPri)2 (2) were tested in vivo in male AKR mice and in vitro against Ehrlich ascites tumor cells. Both compounds exhibited dose-dependent inhibitory effects on in

Repurposing existing drugs not only accelerates drug discovery but rapidly advances clinical therapeutic strategies. In this article, we identified potassium antimonyl tartrate (PAT), an antiparasitic drug, as a novel agent to block angiogenesis by screening US Food and Drug Administration-approved

Organic arsenicals were the first antimicrobial agents specifically synthesized for the treatment of infectious diseases such as syphilis and sleeping sickness. For the treatment of diseases caused by trypanosomatid parasites, organic derivatives of arsenic and the related metalloid antimony are

In the art glass industry workers run increased risks of dying from several types of cancer, cardiovascular diseases, and cerebrovascular diseases. This paper considers the diseases of glass workers in relation to exposure to particular elements, a high degree of correlation being found for some of

Antimony potassium tartrate (APT) is a complex salt that until recently was used worldwide as an antischistosomal drug. Treatment was efficacious only if APT was administered intravenously to humans at a near lethal total dose of 36 mg/kg. Because unconfirmed epidemiologic studies suggested there

Antimony potassium tartrate (APT) is a complex salt that until recently was used worldwide as an anti-schistosomal drug. APT was efficacious in humans only if administered intravenously at a near-lethal total dose of 36 mg/kg. Because unconfirmed epidemiologic studies suggested a possible

The mortality of a census population and a prospective cohort of men employed on an antimony smelter in the north east of England was followed up from 1961-1992. The workers studied were exposed to a variety of agents including antimony and its oxides, arsenic and arsenic oxides, sulphur dioxide,

We have synthesized and structurally characterized three tetra-(p-tolyl)antimony(III)-containing heteropolytungstates, [{(p-tolyl)Sb^III}₄(A-α-XW₉O₃₄)₂]^n- [X = P^V (1-P), As^V

Sentinel node biopsy can decrease the morbidity of breast cancer treatment significantly by sparing many patients of axillary lymph node dissection and resulting arm lymphedema. Despite widespread use of sentinel node mapping for breast cancer patients almost all aspects of this procedure are

The human multidrug-resistance protein (MRP1) confers resistance to some heavy metals such as arsenic and antimony, mainly through mediating an increased cellular efflux of metal. However, it was recently suggested that arsenic, used under its trioxide derivative form as anticancer drug, is not

Novel organobismuth(V) and organoantimony(V) complexes of Ph3ML2 type were synthesized, in which L = deprotonated 2-acetylbenzoic acid (2AcBH), 4-acetylbenzoic acid (4AcBH) or 5-acetylsalicylic acid (5AcSH) and M = bismuth(V) or antimony(V). Complexes [Ph3Bi(2AcB)2] (1) [Ph3Sb(4AcB)2] (2),

BACKGROUND The recent results of several experimental studies have suggested that tumour implantation after laparoscopic surgery for intra-abdominal malignancy may be partly related to the chemical composition of the insufflation gas used during surgery. These studies have demonstrated that the use
