Overcome Cancer Cell Drug Resistance Using Natural Products
Chemotherapy is one of the major treatment methods for cancer. However, failure in chemotherapy is not uncommon, mainly due to dose-limiting toxicity associated with drug resistance. Management of drug resistance is important towards successful chemotherapy. There are many reports in the Chinese literature that natural products can overcome cancer cell drug resistance, which deserve sharing wit...
متن کاملLeishmaniasis: drug resistance and natural products (review).
Epidemics of fatal visceral leishmaniasis caused by the intracellular protozoan Leishmania are a severe public health problem in tropical and subtropical regions of the world. One major drawback in the treatment of leishmaniasis is the emergence of resistance to current chemotherapeutics. Leishmanicidals have to be administered in low doses since commonly used drugs exhibit severe side effects,...
متن کاملReversing drug resistance in vivo.
Apoptotic defects occur in oncogenesis and contribute to drug resistance. We have shown that Bcl-2, Akt, and the translational regulator eIF4E cooperate with Myc during lymphomagenesis and are potent inducers of drug resistance. Interestingly, lymphomas expressing Akt, but not those expressing Bcl-2 are sensitized to chemotherapy-induced apoptosis by the mTOR inhibitor rapamycin, an effect that...
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 کاملEfflux-mediated antifungal drug resistance.
Fungi cause serious infections in the immunocompromised and debilitated, and the incidence of invasive mycoses has increased significantly over the last 3 decades. Slow diagnosis and the relatively few classes of antifungal drugs result in high attributable mortality for systemic fungal infections. Azole antifungals are commonly used for fungal infections, but azole resistance can be a problem ...
