Membrane Transporters as Mediators of Cisplatin Effects and Side Effects
Transporters are important mediators of specific cellular uptake and thus, not only for effects, but also for side effects, metabolism, and excretion of many drugs such as cisplatin. Cisplatin is a potent cytostatic drug, whose use is limited by its severe acute and chronic nephro-, oto-, and peripheral neurotoxicity. For this reason, other platinum derivatives, such as carboplatin and oxalipla...

متن کاملDevelopment of NMDAR Antagonists with Reduced Neurotoxic Side Effects: a Study on GK11
The NMDAR glutamate receptor subtype mediates various vital physiological neuronal functions. However, its excessive activation contributes to neuronal damage in a large variety of acute and chronic neurological disorders. NMDAR antagonists thus represent promising therapeutic tools that can counteract NMDARs' overactivation. Channel blockers are of special interest since they are use-dependent...
متن کاملBeneficial effects of β-glucan against cisplatin side effects on the nervous system in rats 1.
PURPOSE To investigate the protective effect of Bg on cisplatin (CP)-induced neurotoxicity in rats. METHODS Twenty eight rats were randomly distributed into four groups. The first group was kept as a control. In the second group, CP was given at the single dose of 7 mg/kg intraperitoneally. In the third group, βg was orally administered at the dose of 50 mg/kg/day for 14 days. In the fourth g...
