Iodinated nitroimidazoles as radiosensitizers.
Four different nitroimidazole derivatives, with up to two iodine atoms on the imidazole ring, were investigated for their radiosensitizing potency under hypoxic conditions, in order to test whether the introduction of iodine atoms increases the radiosensitizing potency of nitroimidazoles. Misonidazole and metronidazole were used as controls. Human colonic adenocarcinoma cells were incubated wit...
متن کاملPhotodynamic therapy as the "last hope" for tongue-based carcinoma
Introduction The management of base of tongue carcinoma continue to be a major challenge in head and neck oncology. Our aim in this prospective study was to evaluate the outcome following ultrasound-guided interstitial photodynamic therapy (US-iPDT) of stage IV tongue base carcinoma. Patients’ reports on quality of life with clinical and radiological evaluation were the main end point parameter...
متن کاملPhotodynamic therapy (PDT)
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a comparatively novel therapeutic method involving a safe light source and a light-sensitive substance, termed as photosensitizers (PSs), such as methylene blue (MB), toluidine blue (TBO), sulfonated aluminum phthalocyanine, chlorine derivatives, nontoxic indocyanine green (ICG), and curcumin (CUR). (1) The combination of a nontoxic PS with low-intensity visible li...
متن کاملStem cell-based photodynamic therapy.
We have transfected murine neural stem cells (NSCs) and rat umbilical cord matrix-derived stem cells (RUCMSCs) with a plasmid expressing gaussia luciferase (gLuc). These cells are engineered to secrete the luciferase. We have used gLuc containing supernatant from culturing the NSCs to perform in vitro photodynamic therapy of murine melanoma cells (B16F10), and RUCMSCs to perform in vivo PDT of ...
متن کاملBiosynthesis of Srco3 nanostructures with honey as a green capping agent and reductant: photodynamic therapy
Objective (s): SrCO3 nanoparticles could be used as new biomedical sources in magnetic resonance imaging as a promising noninvasive imaging modality for the preoperative staging of breast cancer and monitoring of tumor response to therapy. The present study aimed to synthesize SrCO3 nanostructures using microwave irradiation in the presence of honey as a green capping agent and reductant. Mater...
