Treatment of recurrent malignant gliomas with high-dose 13-cis-retinoic acid.
Malignant gliomas account for more than 60% of all primary brain tumors in adults. Adjuvant chemotherapy in addition to radical surgery and radiation therapy has provided only a modest increase in survival. Retinoic acid has been shown to have growth-inhibitory activity against glioma cells in culture. This provides the rationale for a Phase II study using 13-cis-retinoic acid (CRA) in patients...
متن کامل13-cis-retinoic acid in the treatment of recurrent glioblastoma multiforme.
Basic science and clinical investigations have demonstrated that 13-cis-retinoic acid (cRA) has activity against malignant gliomas. To assess its effectiveness in the setting of recurrent glioblastoma multiforme (GBM), we performed a retrospective analysis of the medical records and neuroimaging results of patients with recurrent GBM who were treated with cRA. The toxicity profile of cRA, respo...
متن کاملPharmacology of 13-cis-retinoic acid in humans.
Vitamin A and its analogs (retinoids) have shown great promise for the chemoprevention of cancer as well as being a possible new class of chemotherapeutic agents. A Phase I and II trial of 13-cis-retinoic acid in advanced cancers was initiated, and the clinical pharmacology of the drug was studied. All patients received p.o. 13-cis-retinoic acid starting at 0.5 mg/kg/day, escalating over 4 week...
متن کاملLiarozole and 13-cis-retinoic acid anti-prostatic tumor activity.
Liarozole fumarate (R85,246), a novel benzimidazole derivative, reduced s.c. and bone metastasis tumor growth by the androgen-independent PC-3ML-B2 human prostatic carcinoma clone in SCID mice. The drug inhibited cell invasion of Matrigel in Boyden chamber chemotactic assays and the secretion of type IV collagenase. In vitro, liarozole failed to inhibit cell proliferation and cell attachment to...
متن کاملIdentification and quantitation of all-trans- and 13-cis-retinoic acid and 13-cis-4-oxoretinoic acid in human plasma.
Human plasma was analyzed by high performance liquid chromatography for the presence of retinoic acid and 4-oxoretinoic acid isomers. Peaks that coeluted with the reference compounds all-trans-retinoic acid, 13-cis-retinoic acid, and 13-cis-4-oxoretinoic acid were routinely observed in human plasma. These retinoids were unequivocally identified by the following methods: comigration with referen...
