OBJECTIVE A comprehensive and machine-understandable cancer drug-side effect (drug-SE) relationship knowledge base is important for in silico cancer drug target discovery, drug repurposing, and toxicity predication, and for personalized risk-benefit decisions by cancer patients. While US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) drug labels capture well-known cancer drug SE information, much cancer dr...

Objective(s): This paper aims to investigate synergistic inhibition of polysaccharide from Sepia esculenta ink (SIP), a newly isolated marine polysaccharide in our laboratory, on breast cancer MDA-MB-231 cells exposed to cisplatin. Materials and Methods: Cell viability of MDA-MB-231 cells was determined by CCK 8 assay. Median-effect concentration was analyzed using Chou-Talalay method that was ...

The release of metformin, a drug used in the treatment cancer and diabetes, from poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate), pHEMA, hydrogel-based microneedle patches is demonstrated vitro. Tuning composition pHEMA hydrogels enables preparation robust with mechanical properties such that they would penetrate skin (insertion force single to be ≈40 N). Swelling experiments conducted at 20, 35, 60 °C show ...

Nanotechnology has slowly but steadily revolutionized the diagnosis, imaging and treatment of cancer. Detecting cancer at earliest stages, locating the tumor at different areas in the body and specific delivery of the drugs to malignant cells including surgically inaccessible tumors are the core areas of medical and pharmaceutical research across the world. In this endeavour, Nanodevices have e...

Anti-cancer drug delivery based on nanocages is important step in development process due to reducing side effects and drug-releasing near the tumor cell. We have studied interaction of bendamustine anti-cancer with Al/B-N/P utilization density functional theory (DFT) approach both gas water phases at B3LYP/6-31G (d,p) level theory. Results show that quantum parameters were somewhat varied by a...

A synthetic route to an anti-cancer drug, lapatinib, was devised support the development of a sustainable manufacturing process in South Africa.

objective: prostate cancer is the fifth most common cancer. in 2012, it was the second leading cause of cancer death for men worldwide. the pi3k/akt pathway plays an essential role in pathogenesis of prostate cancer; the key role of this pathway in cancer progression makes it an attractive target for prostate cancer therapy. micrornas (mirnas) that regulate gene expression have a special abilit...

Drug-Loaded Mucoadhesive Patch In article number 2100203, Sukho Park and co-workers demostrate a drug-loaded patch equipped in wireless capsule, which is delivered to the gastrointestinal tract rapidly accurately by an external magnetic field. The has excellent mucoadhesive properties even wet environment. Since nanoparticles doxorubicin are also loaded patch, it generates heat under alternatin...
