Stimulation of Erythrocyte Cell Membrane Scrambling by Quinine
Background/Aims: The analkaloid drug quinine is utilized mainly for the chemoprophylaxis of malaria. The multiple side effects of quinine include hemolytic anemia and hemolytic uremic syndrome, disorders involving suicidal erythrocyte death or eryptosis,

Stimulation of Erythrocyte Cell Membrane Scrambling by Adarotene
Background/Aims: The atypical retinoid E23-(40-hydroxyl-30-adamantylbiphenyl-4-yl) acrylic acid (ST1926, adarotene) is used in the treatment of malignancy. The effect of ST1926 is at least in part due to stimulation of apoptosis.

Camalexin-Induced Cell Membrane Scrambling and Cell Shrinkage in Human Erythrocytes [PDF]
Background/Aims: The thaliana phytoalexin Camalexin has been proposed for the treatment of malignancy. Camalexin counteracts tumor growth in part by stimulation of suicidal death or apoptosis of tumor cells.

Stimulation of Erythrocyte Cell Membrane Scrambling by Mitotane [PDF]
Background: Mitotane (1,1-dichloro-2-[o-chlorophenyl]-2-[p-chlorophenyl]ethane), a cytostatic drug used for the treatment of adrenocortical carcinomas, is effective by triggering tumor cell apoptosis. In analogy to apoptosis of nucleated cells, eryptosis

Stimulation of Erythrocyte Cell Membrane Scrambling by Gedunin [PDF]
Background/Aims: Gedunin, an inhibitor of heat shock protein HSP90, triggers apoptosis of tumor cells and is thus effective against malignancy. Moreover, the drug has antimalarial potency.

Inhibition of Erythrocyte Cell Membrane Scrambling Following Energy Depletion and Hyperosmotic Shock by Alectinib [PDF]
Background/Aims: The anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) inhibitor alectinib is clinically used for the treatment of ALK positive non-small-cell lung cancer. At least in part the substance is effective by triggering suicidal death or apoptosis of tumor cells. Erythrocytes are lacking mitochondria and nuclei, key organelles of apoptosis but are, similar to

Embelin-Induced Phosphatidylserine Translocation in the Erythrocyte Cell Membrane [PDF]
Background/Aims: The antihelminthic, contraceptive, anti-inflammatory and anticancer phytochemical embelin is at least in part effective against malignancy by inducing suicidal death or apoptosis of tumor cells.

Immune cell activation produces locally scrambled foci of plasma membrane lipids. [PDF]
We show that phosphatidylserine and phosphatidylethanolamine appear as transient foci on the plasma membrane external leaflet following immune receptor-mediated activation of mast cells.
