Activation of Cyclophosphamide for in Vitro Testing of Cell Sensitivity1
نویسندگان
چکیده
Two methods are described for the activation of cyclophosphamide by a liver microsome preparation. These procedures were applicable to an assay in vitro which tests the sensitivity of tumor cells to the drug. Satisfactory results were obtained either by pretreatment of the cyclophosphamide and removal of the microsomes before testing or by the somewhat simpler procedure of mixing drug, microsomes, and test cells for the assay. Microsome treatment of bleomycin gave a smaller in crease in activity, and much smaller effects were seen on some other drugs.

Background Oxidative stress induced by cyclophosphamide (CP), as a chemotherapeutic agent, causes vulnerability of sperm and declining the fertility capacity. Then in this study the effect of crocin (saffron extract) on amelioration of these side effects was investigated. MaterialsAndMethods In this study 24 mice were divided in three groups (n=8). Control group received normal saline (0.2 ml/d...

Background: Cryopreservation of in vitro matured oocytes is a useful technique because the oocytes can be used for some assisted reproductive technologies. On the other hand, the cryopreservation of oocytes is an open problem as a result of their structural sensitivity to the freezing process. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of vitrification on in vitro development of vitri...
