How molecular imaging is speeding up antiangiogenic drug development.
Drug development is a long process that generally spans about 10 to 15 years. The shift in recent drug discovery to novel agents against specific molecular targets highlights the need for more robust molecular imaging platforms. Using molecular probes, molecular imaging can aid in many steps of the drug development process, such as providing whole body readout in an intact system, decreasing th...
متن کاملDrug Targets for Cancer Treatment: An Overview
Cancer is one of the major cause of death worldwide. Malignant cells display metabolic changes, when compared to normal cells, because of both genetic and epigenetic alterations. Number of drugs being used for the cancer treatment follows different mechanisms of action. Therapeutic strategies include targeting of drugs at specific genes or proteins/enzymes found in cancer cells or the internal ...
متن کاملApproaching intermolecular interactions and membrane activity of taxol by FTIR Spectroscopy-implications for anticancer therapeutics
We studied the incorporation of hydrophobic drug Taxol into a solid lipid matrices by FTIR spectroscopy. Lipid arrays containing different molar fractions of the drug were made and deposited on the spectrometer glass window substrates for obtaining multilayer stacks. The drug induced an alteration of lipid array spacings, indicating the drug-lipid recognition. Using excess amounts of Taxol prov...
متن کاملNovel therapeutic approaches for targeting tumor angiogenesis.
Current attempts to disrupt the complex process of tumor blood vessel formation are predominantly focused on targeting the vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)-VEGFR signaling pathway. Although clinically proven to inhibit VEGF and its receptors, these pharmacologic agents are selective, but not specific. Consequently, many of the approved inhibitors also impair other molecular targets lea...
متن کاملPreface—Anticancer Drugs from Marine Origin
Over the years, the invention of new compounds are isolated by using advanced technology has expanded significantly. There are number of compounds developed from marine environment for the treatment of various diseases. Increasing evidence suggested that anticancer drug discovery leads from the marine environment. This book combines the knowledge about the compounds isolated from marine environ...
