In vivo study of novel nanocomposite for prostate cancer treatment

چکیده
Because of high occurrence of side effects of conventional anticancer drugs, new therapies have been widely studied, such as the use of non-usual molecules and the association with nanomaterials. In this context, sildenafil is a molecule that has been lately considered as a co-adjuvant in cancer therapy because it inhibits an enzyme with a potential role in tumor progression, phosphodiesterase-5. Taking into account the combination of nanoparticles and sildenafil, we produced systems based on mesoporous silica nanoparticles, Pluronic F-127 and sildenafil as the main therapy for prostate cancer.

Supernatant Metabolites from Halophilic Archaea to Reduce Tumorigenesis in Prostate Cancer In-vitro and In-vivo
Halophilic archaea are known as the novel producers of natural products and their supernatant metabolites could have cytotoxic effects on cancer cells. In the present study, we screened the anticancer potential of supernatant metabolites from eight native haloarchaeal strains obtained from a culture collection in Iran. Five human cancer cell lines including breast, lung, prostate and also human...

متن کاملPSA Screening in Prostate Cancer
Introduction: Prostate cancer is one of the most common cancers in Iranian men. PSA(prostate specific antigen) screening is a controversial issue because PSA screening leads to diagnose of patients with low risk prostate cancer who not only do not benefit from treatment but also suffer from complication caused by treatment. On the other hand, without prostate cancer screening, the rate of meta...

Background and Objectives: Detection of the biomarkers is one of the effective methods for diagnosis and treatment of prostate cancer. Prostate specific antigen (PSA) is currently the best biomarker available for controlling and detecting this cancer. The purpose of the current study was to design an electrochemical aptamer-based biosensor (electrochemical aptasensor) to measure...
