متن کاملEvaluation of Fetal Toxicity of HESA-A, a Natural Anticancer Agent, in Mice
Introduction: HESA-A is an active natural compound with herbal and marine origin. It contains inorganic, organic and aqueous fractions, and has shown antioxidant, cytotoxic and anticancer effects. In this study, the teratogenic effects of HESA-A in mice have been evaluated. Methods: Several doses of HESA-A were administered orally to pregnant mice on days 6 to 14 of gestation. Various parameter...
متن کاملTargets of 3-bromopyruvate, a new, energy depleting, anticancer agent.
3-bromopyruvate (3-BrPA), a pyruvate analog recently proposed as a possible anticancer drug, was investigated in relation to its capacity to inhibit energy production in fractions obtained from normal cells (rat hepatocytes) and in isolated rat thymocytes . Findings were that main targets of the drug were glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase, and not hexokinase as suggested for hepatoma cel...
متن کاملMode of action of a new indolocarbazole anticancer agent, J-107088, targeting topoisomerase I.
J-107088 [6-N-(1-hydroxymethyl-2-hydroxy)ethylamino-12,13-dihydro-2,10-dihydroxy- 13-(beta-D-glucopyranosyl)-5H-indolo[2,3-a]-pyrrolo[3,4-c]-carb azo le-5,7(6H)-dione] is a new derivative of NB-506, an indolocarbazole antitumor agent. J-107088 induced single-strand DNA cleavage only in the presence of topoisomerase I (top1) more effectively than NB-506 or camptothecin. The preferable sequences ...
