Polyamine pathway inhibition as a novel therapeutic approach to treating neuroblastoma
Polyamines are highly regulated essential cations that are elevated in rapidly proliferating tissues, including diverse cancers. Expression analyses in neuroblastomas suggest that upregulation of polyamine pro-synthetic enzymes and downregulation of ...

Translational development of difluoromethylornithine (DFMO) for the treatment of neuroblastoma.
Neuroblastoma is a childhood tumor in which MYC oncogenes are commonly activated to drive tumor progression. Survival for children with high-risk neuroblastoma remains poor despite treatment that incorporates high-dose chemotherapy, stem cell support, surgery, radiation therapy and immunotherapy.

A phase II study of alpha-difluoromethylornithine (DFMO) for the treatment of metastatic melanoma. [PDF]
Difluoromethylornithine (DFMO) is an irreversible enzyme-activated inhibitor of ornithine decarboxylase, a key enzyme in polyamine synthesis. We have screened for potential anti-cancer activity of DFMO using a clonogenic assay, which suggested that ...

Cell number and morphology of BMMCs in the absence or presence of DFMO.
(A) Starting with 0.1 mM DFMO treatment from day 3, the cells were cultured until day 28. The relative cell number on day 0 is shown as 1. Standard deviation (s.d.) was calculated; n = 3 replicates. *p < 0.05 compared with control.

Development and evaluation of polymeric hybrid a-Difluoromethylornithine (DFMO) & Etoposide loaded nanocarriers for the treatment of Neuroblastoma [PDF]
Neuroblastoma (NB) is the most common extra-cranial solid cancer in childhood and infancy with patients having an average age of 17 months. Most are diagnosed with advanced stage NB when tumor progression is aggressive, making treatment of NB even more ...
