BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVE Insecticide treated mosquito nets are increasingly being used in malaria control programmes. One of the problems with the treatment of bed nets with conventional formulations of insecticides was that regular washing of treated nets diminish insecticidal effect. Lambdacyhalothrin 2.5 capsule suspension (CS) (2.5% a.i., w/v), a new water-based microencapsulated formulation ...

We read with great interest the Highlight Review by Dr C GruÈ ndker entitled `Cytotoxic luteinizing hormonereleasing hormone conjugates and their use in gynecological cancer therapy' in the European Journal of Endocrinology (1). This excellent article provides a detailed description of recent developments in the field of targeted chemotherapy based on luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LH-R...

Recently, we developed a series of cytotoxic peptide conjugates containing 14-O-glutaryl esters of doxorubicin (DOX) or 2-pyrrolino-DOX (AN-201). Serum carboxylesterase enzymes (CE) can partially hydrolyze these conjugates in the circulation, releasing the cytotoxic radical, before the targeting is complete. CE activity in serum of nude mice is about 10 times higher than in human serum. Thus, w...
