phosphatidyl ethanolamine/nausea

Liposomal muramyl tripeptide phosphatidyl ethanolamine (L-MTP-PE) is a synthetic biological investigational agent used for treating osteosarcoma. It has been used in both canine and human osteosarcoma to reduce pulmonary metastases, the most common pattern of treatment failure for sarcomas. L-MTP-PE

Glycerophospholipids are major components of cell membranes. Phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) is a glycerophospholipid and is involved in multiple cellular processes, such as membrane fusion, cell cycle, autophagy and apoptosis. In this study, we investigated the role of PE biosynthesis in herpes

The macrophage activator muramyl tripeptide-phosphatidyl ethanolamine (MTP-PE) was infused in liposomal form in 14 metastatic cancer patients (4 mg i.v. during 30 min twice weekly for 12 weeks). Clinical, pharmacokinetic and immunological parameters were studied before and 0.5, 2, 4, 24 and 72h

Novel therapy as part of sarcoma treatment schemas can enhance quality of life and is important in improving outcomes of high-risk sarcomas. Additional chemotherapy and biotherapy options to reduce tumor burden and prevent metastases include intra-arterial chemotherapy in osteosarcoma; intrapleural

OBJECTIVE This study evaluated the pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics (PD), safety/tolerability, and cardiac safety of liposomal muramyl tripeptide phosphatidyl-ethanolamine [mifamurtide (L-MTP-PE)] in healthy adults. METHODS L-MTP-PE 4 mg was administered intravenously over 30 min. Study

Mifamurtide (liposomal muramyl tripeptide phosphatidyl ethanolamine; Mepact) is an immunomodulator with antitumor effects that appear to be mediated via activation of monocytes and macrophages. In the EU, mifamurtide is indicated in children, adolescents, and young adults for the treatment of
