Harnessing Phytochemicals for Brain Cancer Therapy: Insights Into Medulloblastoma and Glioblastoma Treatment

Phytochemical Analysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Primary brain tumors are life‐threatening diseases. Glioblastoma is the most aggressive type with a poor prognosis. Medulloblastoma is the most common pediatric brain tumor. While surgical treatments often result in recurrences owing to the complex nature of the tumor microenvironment, conventional treatments lower the quality of life of ...

Camptothecin and khat (Catha edulis Forsk.) induced distinct cell death phenotypes involving modulation of c-FLIP_L, Mcl-1, procaspase-8 and mitochondrial function in acute myeloid leukemia cell lines

Molecular Cancer, 2009
Background An organic extract of the recreational herb khat (Catha edulis Forsk.) triggers cell death in various leukemia cell lines in vitro. The chemotherapeutics camptothecin, a plant alkaloid topoisomerase I inhibitor, was tested side-by-side with ...

\u3csup\u3e99m\u3c/sup\u3eTc-Labeled C2A Domain of Synaptotagmin I as a Target-Specific Molecular Probe for Noninvasive Imaging of Acute Myocardial Infarction [PDF]

, 2006
: The exposure of phosphatidylserine (PtdS) is a common molecular marker for both apoptosis and necrosis and enables the simultaneous detection of these distinct modes of cell death. Our aim was to develop a radiotracer based on the PtdS-binding activity

Boron‐10 carriers and their applications in boron neutron capture therapy

Precision Radiation Oncology, EarlyView.
Summary of different types of boron drugs. Abstract Boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) has emerged as a promising therapeutic modality in cancer treatment, demonstrating the ability to selectively eliminate cancer cells through the 10B(n,α)7Li nuclear reaction with minimal side effects on normal tissues.

Design and evaluation of glutathione responsive glycosylated camptothecin nanosupramolecular prodrug

Drug Delivery, 2021
A novel tumor-targeted glutathione responsive Glycosylated-Camptothecin nanosupramolecular prodrug (CPT-GL NSp) was designed and fabricated via a disulfide bond. The effects of glycoligand with different polarities on solubility, self-assembly, stability,

A general and green approach of pH‐sensitive ZIF‐67 for encapsulating active substances

Smart Molecules, EarlyView.
Zeolitic imidazolate framework‐67 (ZIF‐67) was successfully synthesized in deionized water for 2 h in this work; meanwhile, various active substances could be encapsulated in one‐pot with the same process, resulting in high loading rates. The study delved into the growth mechanism, morphological difference and loading capacity.

Targeting PRMTs Creates Vulnerability of DNA Double‐Stand Break Repair Pathways, and Potentiates Chemotherapy Efficacy in TNBC

Cancer Science, EarlyView.
Our work makes the proof of concept that there is a clinical benefit to target both PRMT1 and PRMT5 to maximize the anti‐tumoral effect of chemotherapy in triple negative breast cancer. ABSTRACT Patients with triple‐negative breast cancer (ER−, PR−, and HER2−) are routinely treated with chemotherapies that induce DNA damage.

Characterization of the Blood–Brain Barrier Integrity and the Brain Transport of SN-38 in an Orthotopic Xenograft Rat Model of Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma

Pharmaceutics, 2020
The blood–brain barrier (BBB) hinders the brain delivery of many anticancer drugs. In pediatric patients, diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG) represents the main cause of brain cancer mortality lacking effective drug therapy.

Relevance of the variability of the feline immunodeficiency virus in regard to pathogenicity and vaccination in New Zealand : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Animal Science, Massey University, Manawatū, New Zealand [PDF]

, 2018
Cats infected with the feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV) show a range of clinical signs. Given the variability of the FIV genome, it is possible that there is variation in certain biological characteristics of FIV, such as pathogenicity.
