Aag DNA glycosylase promotes alkylation-induced tissue damage mediated by Parp1. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS Genetics, 2013
Alkylating agents comprise a major class of front-line cancer chemotherapeutic compounds, and while these agents effectively kill tumor cells, they also damage healthy tissues.

Biosynthesis of DNA-Alkylating Antitumor Natural Products

open access: yesMolecules, 2022
DNA-alkylating natural products play an important role in drug development due to their significant antitumor activities. They usually show high affinity with DNA through different mechanisms with the aid of their unique scaffold and highly active ...

Oncometabolite D-2-Hydroxyglutarate Inhibits ALKBH DNA Repair Enzymes and Sensitizes IDH Mutant Cells to Alkylating Agents

open access: yesCell Reports, 2015
Chemotherapy of a combination of DNA alkylating agents, procarbazine and lomustine (CCNU), and a microtubule poison, vincristine, offers a significant benefit to a subset of glioma patients.

Rad51 and BRCA2--New molecular targets for sensitizing glioma cells to alkylating anticancer drugs. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2011
First line chemotherapeutics for brain tumors (malignant gliomas) are alkylating agents such as temozolomide and nimustine. Despite growing knowledge of how these agents work, patients suffering from this malignancy still face a dismal prognosis ...

Carcinogenicity of Alkylating Agents [PDF]

open access: yesPublic Health Reports (1896-1970), 1966
T O A CHEMIST interested in carcinogenesis, one of its fascinating aspects is the great variety of chemicals that after being administered to a test animal can lead to cancer. Some very simple molecules, that is, carbon tetrachloride or diazomethane, are carcinogenic in certain species of animals while in others only complex structures are cancer ...

Effect of curcumin on the genotoxicity induced by alkylating agents

open access: yesFrontiers in Genetics, 2015
The protection of the structure of DNA is extremly important to transfer genetic information from generation to generation. DNA damage due to genotoxic ess is an important type of stress which organisms are exposed during their life.

Monocytosis and Multiple Myeloma: treatment-related acute leukaemia?

open access: yesSurgical and Experimental Pathology, 2022
Background Therapy-related acute monocytic leukemias in patients with plasma cell dyscrasias are infrequent. Case presentation We here present a case of a 60 year old female who developed an acute monocytic leukemia two years after the diagnosis of ...

DNA Damage Induced by Alkylating Agents and Repair Pathways

open access: yesJournal of Nucleic Acids, 2010
The cytotoxic effects of alkylating agents are strongly attenuated by cellular DNA repair processes, necessitating a clear understanding of the repair mechanisms. Simple methylating agents form adducts at N- and O-atoms.

DNA Damaging Agents in Chemical Biology and Cancer

open access: yesCHIMIA, 2020
Despite their toxicity, DNA alkylating drugs remain a cornerstone of anticancer therapy. The classical thinking was that rapidly dividing tumour cells left more of its DNA in an exposed single-stranded state, making these rapidly dividing cells more ...
