چکیده

produced by mutants of Streptomyces peucetius^ , the daunorubicin2) producing microorganism, led to the discovery of doxorubicin (adriamycin)3) and other new anthracyclines4~8). By further mutagenic treatment of Streptomyces peucetius var. aureus, sl mutant of Streptomyces peucetius producing 4Odemethyl1 1 deoxydoxorubicin and analogues7), we have recently isolated other new mutant strains. Amongthem, two mutants designed Streptomyces peucetius var. vinaceus (NRRL 15344) and Streptomyces peucetius var. castaneus (NRRL15345), were found to produce respectively 40-(/3-D-glucopyranuronosyl)-s-rhodomycinone (1)9) and 4-O-(/3'-D-glucopyranu-

Heart repolarization changes after anthracycline therapy in the children with cancer

Background Anthracyclines are important components of many chemotherapeutic protocols. The present study aimed to evaluate the repolarization changes in electrocardiography (ECG) which may predict drug induced arrhythmia. Materials and Methods In this cross-sectional study, the recorded ECGs were assessed for QT dispersion (QTd), QT corrected dispersion (QTcd), T peak to Tend dispersion (TPe...

Osseous Metaplasia Mimicking Long Bone in Intramuscular Vascular Malformation

We describe a case of intramuscular vascular malformation with extensive ossification within the posterior compartment muscles of leg which grossly mimicked long bone leading to equinus deformity of foot. Phleboliths and calcifications are characteristic of vascular malformations, while massive ossification is rare. To our knowledge, no extensive ossified vascular malformation within the leg mu...

Molecular pathogenetic mechanisms and new therapeutic perspectives in anthracycline-induced cardiomyopathy

Anthracyclines are among the most powerful drugs for the treatment of oncologic diseases both in childhood and in adulthood. Nevertheless, their major antineoplastic efficacy can be seriously impaired by collateral toxic cardiac effects causing cardiomyopathy with chronic heart failure that is refractory to conventional medical therapy.This article reports possible subcellular molecular alterat...

Underuse of Anthracyclines in Women with HER-2+ Advanced Breast Cancer

Anthracyclines are among the most active drugs in breast cancer. Because of excessive cardiotoxicity, their use in combination with trastuzumab has been discouraged in patients with human epidermal growth factor receptor (HER)-2(+) metastatic breast cancer. We sought to describe how this treatment paradigm influenced the use of anthracyclines in this patient setting. We analyzed a multi-institu...
