Understanding resistance to combination chemotherapy.
The current clinical application of combination chemotherapy is guided by a historically successful set of practices that were developed by basic and clinical researchers 50-60 years ago. Thus, in order to understand how emerging approaches to drug development might aid the creation of new therapeutic combinations, it is critical to understand the defining principles underlying classic combinat...
متن کاملOvercoming tumor resistance to cisplatin through micelle-mediated combination chemotherapy.
The main obstacles to cancer therapy are the inability to target cancer cells and the acquired drug resistance after a period of chemotherapy. Reduced drug uptake and DNA repair are the two main mechanisms involved in cisplatin resistance. In the present investigation, canthaplatin, a Pt(iv) pro-drug of cisplatin and a protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A) inhibitor (4-(3-carboxy-7-oxa-bicyclo[2.2.1]he...
متن کاملIdarubicin-bromelain combination sensitizes cancer cells to conventional chemotherapy
Objective(s): The primary cytotoxic effects of anticancer drugs like idarubicin, a chemotherapeutic agent, are not limited to neoplastic cells; they also produce similar effects in normal cells. In this study, we hypothesized that the combination of idarubicin-bromelain could make cancer cells more susceptible to cytotoxicity and genotoxicity.Material...
متن کاملResistance mechanisms to cancer chemotherapy.
Resistance to chemotherapy ('drug resistance') is a fundamental problem that limits the effectiveness of many chemotherapies currently used to treat cancer. Drug resistance can occur due to a variety of mechanisms, such as increased drug inactivation, drug efflux from cancer cells, enhanced repair of chemotherapy-induced damage, activation of pro-survival pathways and inactivation of cell death...
متن کاملUnderstanding Resistance to Software Reuse
Reuse technology is no longer solely restricted to the research domain. Companies that have adopted its techniques to enhance their development process have reported useful improvements in development productivity and quality. We wished to look at why these improvements are not being exploited more widely within industry as a whole. By means of questionnaires and interviews with selected senior...
