Utility of T-cell immunosequencing in distinguishing mycosis fungoides progression from treatment related cutaneous adverse events [PDF]
Cutaneous adverse events of both topical and systemic drugs in patients with mycosis fungoides (MF) present a diagnostic challenge as it is often difficult to distinguish drug associated rash from disease progression in the skin.

HPLC-UV, MALDI-TOF-MS and ESI-MS/MS analysis of the mechlorethamine DNA crosslink at a cytosine-cytosine mismatch pair. [PDF]
Mechlorethamine [ClCH(2)CH(2)N(CH(3))CH(2)CH(2)Cl], a nitrogen mustard alkylating agent, has been proven to form a DNA interstrand crosslink at a cytosine-cytosine (C-C) mismatch pair using gel electrophoresis.

Phase 1 Dose Escalation of Single-Agent Mechlorethamine in Dogs With Lymphoma. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Mechlorethamine is commonly prescribed to dogs at 3 mg/m2. The minimal toxicity observed indicates that higher doses of mechlorethamine are likely tolerable. The primary objective of this study was to determine the maximally tolerated dose (MTD) of mechlorethamine in dogs with lymphoma.

DNA-Peptide Crosslinks Placed at Codon 249 of the p53 Tumor Suppressor Gene Induce G to A Transitions in Human Cells. [PDF]
DNA‐peptide cross‐links (DpCs) are ubiquitous DNA lesions that form when cellular proteins become covalently trapped on DNA strands and are processed by proteases. DpCs are hypothesized to play a role in antitumor activity of chemotherapeutic drugs and to contribute to aging.

Results from a Pilot Study of HyBryte™ (Topical Synthetic Hypericin) Versus Valchlor® (Mechlorethamine) in the Treatment of CTCL [PDF]
Introduction Mycosis fungoides (MF) is the most common type of primary cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL), a malignant and chronic skin disease. Early-stage MF has a generally favorable prognosis, but effective and well-tolerated skin-directed therapies ...

In Vivo Evidence of Melatonin’s Protective Role in Alkylating-Agent-Induced Pulmonary Toxicity: A Systematic Review [PDF]
Alkylating agents, historically employed as chemical warfare agents and currently used as chemotherapeutic drugs, are known to induce significant pulmonary toxicity. Current clinical interventions often fail to fully prevent or reverse these pathological

Mechanistic Insights and Pharmacological Approaches for Nitrogen and Sulfur Mustards and Their Implications as Therapeutic Agents. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Nitrogen and sulfur mustards, often acting as vesicants, have significant consequences for public health. Skin is a common site for exposure to these vesicants that can result in considerable morbidity and mortality. Given that the treatment options are limited, new insights into the mechanisms for the toxicity of these vesicants that can be ...
