Phase I clinical trial of the inosine monophosphate dehydrogenase inhibitor mycophenolate mofetil (cellcept) in advanced multiple myeloma patients.
PURPOSE Inosine monophosphate dehydrogenase (IMPDH) inhibitors have been used to induce leukemia blast cell differentiation but have not been tested in multiple myeloma for activity. Currently, available IMPDH inhibitor, mycophenolate mofetil (MMF), which is known as an immunosuppressant, was shown to induce apoptosis in myeloma cell lines. On the basis of our preclinical studies, we designed a...
متن کاملPolymorphisms in type I and II inosine monophosphate dehydrogenase genes and association with clinical outcome in patients on mycophenolate mofetil.
BACKGROUND Type I and II inosine monophosphate dehydrogenases (IMPDH) are the targets of mycophenolic acid (MPA), a widely used immunosuppressant. The aims of this study were: to check the presence of controversial polymorphisms in the IMPDH II gene; to look for new ones; and to investigate potential associations between the most frequent SNPs in both IMPDH genes and clinical outcome in renal t...
متن کاملInduction of apoptosis by novel inosine monophosphate dehydrogenase, 3-hydrogenkwadaphnin
Today’s medical word is highly dependent on severel natural products (e.g. taxol) in fighting different kinds of cancer and in constantly working to found new compounds. In this respect, 3-hydrogenkwadaphnin is a new diterpene ester isolated from Dendrostellera lessertii (Thymelaceae). It has been previously shown that this new compound has high anti-tumor activity and the capability of arresti...

متن کاملIMP dehydrogenase inhibitor mycophenolate mofetil induces caspase-dependent apoptosis and cell cycle inhibition in multiple myeloma cells.
Multiple myeloma is an incurable disease for the majority of patients, therefore requiring new biological targeted therapies. In primary myeloma cells, IMP dehydrogenase (IMPDH) was shown to be consistently overexpressed. We therefore tested the IMPDH inhibitor mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) currently available as a clinical therapeutic agent for its antimyeloma activity in vitro. MMF depleted int...
