Anticancer activity of sodium stibogluconate in synergy with IFNs.
Cancer cell resistance limits the efficacy of IFNs. In this study, we show that sodium stibogluconate (SSG) and IFN-alpha synergized to overcome IFN-alpha resistance in various human cancer cell lines in culture and eradicated IFN-alpha-refractory WM9 human melanoma tumors in nude mice with no obvious toxicity. SSG enhanced IFN-alpha-induced Stat1 tyrosine phosphorylation, inactivated intracell...
متن کاملLiposomal Formulation of Turmerone-Rich Hexane Fractions from Curcuma longa Enhances Their Antileishmanial Activity
Promastigote forms of Leishmania amazonensis were treated with different concentrations of two fractions of Curcuma longa cortex rich in turmerones and their respective liposomal formulations in order to evaluate growth inhibition and the minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC). In addition, cellular alterations of treated promastigotes were investigated under transmission and scanning electron ...
متن کاملAntileishmanial activity of polycyclic derivatives.
33 polycyclic derivatives have been studied and tested on Leishmania donovani and L. major promastigotes. Their antileishmanial activity was assessed in vitro and an assay of their cytotoxicity was realized on human myelomonocytic cell line. The reference molecules used in the assays were amphotericin B and pentamidine. Among the compounds tested, 29 possess an antileishmanial activity; 25 of t...
متن کاملAntileishmanial activity of lapachol analogues.
The antileishmanial activity of lapachol, isolapachol, and dihydrolapachol, along with soluble derivatives (potassium salt) and acetate was obtained. All the compounds were assayed against metacyclic promastigotes of two different species of Leishmania associated to tegumentar leishmaniasis: L. amazonensis and L. braziliensis. All compounds presented significant activity, being isolapachol acet...
