Arsenic-Based Antineoplastic Drugs and Their Mechanisms of Action
Arsenic-based compounds have become accepted agents for cancer therapy providing high rates of remission of some cancers such as acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL). The mechanisms by which arsenic-containing compounds kill cells and reasons for selective killing of only certain types of cancer cells such as APLs have recently been delineated. This knowledge was gained in parallel with increasin...
متن کاملClustering Cancer Drugs According to their Mechanisms of Action
This research investigates similarities between cancer-related drugs with respect to their mechanisms of action (MOA) guided by information extracted from two resources: scientific literature and ontologies. To find similarity between drug pairs, the Chemical Entities of Biological Interest (ChEBI) ontology and Gene Ontology (GO) were leveraged to compute drug and drug target features, respecti...
متن کاملInotropic action of hexamethonium.
The positive inotropic action of hexainethoniuin in hypodynamic and freshly prepared papillary muscles of the cat and the hypodynamic heart-lung preparation of the dog has been demonstrated. Within certain limits, there exists a proportionality between the concentration of hexamethonium and the magnitude of the inotropic response. In both preparations results have been obtained which indicate t...
متن کاملMechanisms of Action of Antiepileptic Drugs
γ-Aminobutyric acid (GABA), one of the main inhibitory neurotransmitters in the brain, interacts with three types of receptors for GABA GABAA, GABAB and GABAC. GABAA receptors, associated with binding sites for benzodiazepines and barbiturates in the form of a receptor complex, control opening of the chloride channel. When GABA binds to the receptor complex, the channel is opened and chloride a...
متن کاملMechanisms of action of antiepileptic drugs
The serendipitous discovery of the anticonvulsant properties of phenobarbital in 1912 marked the foundation of the modern pharmacotherapy of epilepsy. The subsequent 70 years saw the introduction of phenytoin, ethosuximide, carbamazepine, sodium valproate and a range of benzodiazepines. Collectively, these compounds have come to be regarded as the ‘established’ antiepileptic drugs (AEDs). A con...
