BACKGROUND Gingerol, the generic term for pungent constituents in ginger, has been used for treating vomiting in China. We are going to investigate the mechanisms of inhibitive effect of gingerol on cisplatin-induced pica behaviour by studying on both peripheral and central levels, and the effects

Receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs) bearing oncogenic mutations in EGFR, ALK and ROS1 occur in a significant subset of lung adenocarcinomas. Tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) targeting tumor cells dependent on these oncogenic RTKs yield tumor shrinkage, but also a variety of adverse events. Skin

Imidacloprid is a neonicotinoid insecticide acting as an agonist of nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) in the target insects. However, questions about the safety to mammals, including human have emerged. Overactivation of mammalian peripheral catecholaminergic systems leads to onset of

Bosutinib (SKI-606) is a 4-anilino-3-quinoline carbonitrile, which acts as a dual inhibitor of Src and ABL kinases. In addition, the BCR-ABL fusion gene product, a constitutively activated tyrosine kinase which is crucial for the development of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML), is highly sensitive to

There is no effective treatment for melanoma, a fatal skin cancer occurring with increasing frequency. Dietary tyrosine restriction lowers systemic tyrosine and suppresses the growth of melanoma in mice, but this is not tolerated by human resulting in nausea, vomiting, and weight loss. We report

BACKGROUND For nearly the past two decades, cytokines (CKs) have been the only systemic treatment option available for advanced renal cell carcinoma (RCC). In recent years, tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) have demonstrated clinical activity on this tumour. Our purpose is to describe one centre's

BACKGROUND One of the most studied pro-angiogenic factors involved in the development of colorectal cancer is the vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). The small molecule tyrosine kinase inhibitor semaxanib (SU5416) is one of the several agents targeting the VEGF signaling pathway, and its

OBJECTIVE We studied the safety and tolerability of telatinib, an orally available, small-molecule tyrosine kinase inhibitor of the vascular endothelial growth factor receptor (VEGFR-2/VEGFR-3), platelet-derived growth factor receptor beta, and c-Kit in combination with capecitabine and

OBJECTIVE SU6668 is a tyrosine kinase inhibitor which targets platelet-derived growth factor receptor-beta, fibroblast growth factor receptor-1, vascular endothelial growth factor receptor-2, and KIT. We did a phase I study to define the maximum tolerated dose and to assess the pharmacokinetics of

Intracerebroventricular injection of dopamine (0.5-4.0 mg) produced dose-dependent and short-lasting emesis (1-8 min) in cats, which was abolished after ablation of the area postrema. Relatively selective alpha 2-adrenoceptor antagonists (yohimbine and idazoxan) and a mixed alpha 1- and alpha

The emetic effect of clonidine injected into the cerebral ventricles through chronically implanted cannulae was investigated in unanaesthetized cats. Clonidine (0.1-300 micrograms) induced dose-dependent and shortlasting emesis. The emesis induced by the supramaximal dose of clonidine (100

The emetic action of noradrenaline was investigated in unanesthetized cats, after it was injected into the cerebral ventricles through chronically implanted cannulae. Intracerebroventricular injection of noradrenaline produced dose-dependent and shortlasting emesis, which was abolished after

BACKGROUND Tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) are a new group of drugs that show the activity against receptors of different growth factors leading to the inhibition of tumor cells growth and proliferation. To date, four different TKIs have been approved for RAI-refractory DTC or MTC: sorafenib,

OBJECTIVE Increased bone marrow angiogenesis and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) levels are of adverse prognostic significance in patients with multiple myeloma (MM). VEGF, a soluble circulating angiogenic molecule, acts via receptor tyrosine kinases, including VEGF receptor 2. SU5416 is a
