Overcoming antiangiogenic resistance.
The success of drugs targeting angiogenesis is tempered by the transient duration of disease control and modest survival improvement. The very hypoxic stress produced by successful therapy may lead to upregulation of multiple pathways that promote angiogenesis and invasive behavior. Overcoming this evasive resistance may further improve outcome.
متن کاملMechanisms of antifungal resistance
The many drugs that are available at present to treat fungal infections can be divided into four broad groups on the basis of their mechanism of action. These antifungal agents either inhibit macromolecule synthesis (flucytosine), impair membrane barrier function (polyenes), inhibit ergosterol synthesis (allylamines, thiocarbamates, azole derivatives, morpholines), or interact with microtubules...
متن کاملAntifungal drug resistance.
The increasing incidence of invasive fungal infections is the result of many factors, including an increasing number of patients with severe immunosuppression. Although new drugs have been introduced to combat this problem, the development of resistance to antifungal drugs has become increasingly apparent, especially in patients who require long-term treatment or who are receiving antifungal pr...
متن کاملUnderstanding and overcoming antibiotic resistance
Antibiotic drugs have revolutionized medicine and made our modern way of life possible. In addition to their essential role in the clinic, antibiotics are used in a huge array of non-medical applications, from promoting growth in livestock, to preserving building materials from contamination, to treating blight in orchards. However, overuse threatens their efficacy due to the promotion and spre...
متن کاملOvercoming multidrug resistance with nanomedicines.
INTRODUCTION Cancer remains the leading cause of death worldwide. Numerous therapeutic strategies that include smart biological treatments toward specific cellular pathways are being developed. Yet, inherent and acquired multidrug resistance (MDR) to chemotherapeutic drugs remains the major obstacle in effective cancer treatments. AREAS COVERED Herein, we focused on an implementation of nanos...
