چکیده
Curcumin, which has been used in ancient Indian Ayurvedic system of medicine, has recently been shown to have anti-cancer activity. However, its poor solubility in water has restricted its development as an effective anti-cancer agent for clinical use. We report the synthesis of a well-defined water soluble Bovine Serum Albumin (BSA)-curcumin conjugate. The conjugate was characterized via Gel electrophoresis and Fast Protein Liquid Chromatography (FPLC). The drug loading was determined by MALDI-TOF. The potent anti-cervical cancer activity was validated by cytotoxicity properties against the HeLa cancer cell line via the MTT assay.

متن کاملPlant-Based Calcium Fructoborate as Boron-Carrying Nanoparticles for Neutron Cancer Therapy
Boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) is an effective clinical method in cancer treatment based on fission reactions and nuclear capturing. In this method, use of the best boron-containing agents for boron therapy and boron delivery agent for transfer to the infectious site are the key points for efficienct treatment. Our research indicated that calcium fructoborate(CF) was the best compound as...
متن کاملInvestigation the potential of Boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) to treat the lung cancer
Introduction: Boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) is recommended to treat the glioblastoma tumor. It is well known that neuron beams are more effective treatment than photon beams to treat hypoxia tumors due to interaction of neutron with nucleus and production of heavy particles such as 7Li and alpha particle. In this study to evaluate the suitability of BNCT for treating of ...

Primary retroperitoneal teratoma is a rare entity in adults with a distinctive imaging appearance. We describe an unusual case of a 19-year old male patient referred to our hospital due to a large mass in his abdomen. Radiological work-up revealed a large retroperitoneal mass with no other masses or abnormalities. Exploratory laparotomy with tumor resection was performed. Histopathological diag...
متن کاملOptimum neutron energy simulation in treatment of head and neck cancer at different depths in the BNCT method
Introduction: Recently head and neck cancer has pay attention to many researchers. Its therapeutic methods include surgery, chemotherapy, radiotherapy and Boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT). BNCT is better than conventional radiotherapy because it targets the tumor cell. This method involves two steps of infusion of stable 10B and then neutron radiation with a suitable intens...
