Digitoxin medication and cancer; case control and internal dose-response studies

BMC Cancer, 2001
Background Digitoxin induces apoptosis in different human malignant cell lines in vitro. In this paper we investigated if patients taking digitoxin for cardiac disease have a different cancer incidence compared to the general population. Methods Computer

Inhibitory Effects of Digoxin and Digitoxin on Cell Growth in Human Ovarian Cancer Cell Line SKOV-3

Integrative Cancer Therapies, 2021
Background: Cardiac glycosides (CGs) possess a chemical structure similar to steroids, and are inhibitors of the sodium potassium pump. An anti-tumor effect of CGs in breast and prostate cancers has been reported, but the effect of CGs on ovarian cancer ...

Optimal designs for random effect models with correlated errors with applications in population pharmacokinetics [PDF]

, 2009
We consider the problem of constructing optimal designs for population pharmacokinetics which use random effect models. It is common practice in the design of experiments in such studies to assume uncorrelated errors for each subject.

Structure-based virtual screening to predict Loxosceles spider venom natural inhibitors

Digital Chinese Medicine, 2023
Objective: Loxosceles spider bite accidents are rising in wide areas of the world which necessitates the exploration of natural inhibitors to inhibit the most significant enzymes, namely sphingomyelinase D (Smase D) and hyaluronidase.

Cardiac glycosides and breast cancer risk: A systematic review and meta-analysis of observational studies [PDF]

, 2017
Cardiac glycosides are phytoestrogens and have been linked to the risk of estrogen sensitive cancers such as uterus cancer. However, the association between use of cardiac glycosides and risk of breast cancer remains unclear.

Digitoxin Inhibits Epithelial-to-Mesenchymal-Transition in Hereditary Castration Resistant Prostate Cancer

Frontiers in Oncology, 2019
Castration Resistant Prostate Cancer (CRPC) is thought to be driven by a collaborative mechanism between TNFα/NFκB and TGFβ signaling, leading to inflammation, Epithelial-to-Mesenchymal-Transition (EMT), and metastasis.

Common cardiac medications potently inhibit ACE2 binding to the SARS-CoV-2 Spike, and block virus penetration and infectivity in human lung cells

Scientific Reports, 2021
To initiate SARS-CoV-2 infection, the Receptor Binding Domain (RBD) on the viral spike protein must first bind to the host receptor ACE2 protein on pulmonary and other ACE2-expressing cells.
