Following implant of cotton thread-carrying 3-methyl-cholanthrene into the pancreas tissue of 90 C57BL/6 and 60 BALB/c mice, 13 developed ductal adenocarcinomas. Two of these tumors, both of C57BL/6 origin (Panc 02 and 03), were established in serial s.c. transplant. Panc 02 was treated with 37 different anticancer drugs representing all of the chemical and functional classes of clinically usef...

The development of cancer drug resistance is a persistent clinical problem limiting the successful treatment of disseminated malignancies. However, the molecular mechanisms by which initially chemoresponsive tumors develop therapeutic resistance remain poorly understood. Error-prone translesional DNA synthesis (TLS) is known to underlie the mutagenic effects of numerous anticancer agents, but l...

We deal with various strains of Lactobacillus that can maintain the intestinal microbiome rats treated cyclophosphamide, an anticancer agent (chemotherapy). use MiSeq and types statistical tests to prove cyclophosphamide in alters microbiome, favoring growth fungi are extremely harmful metabolism. On contrary, when 3L is administered together we preserved by having a much better

Density functional theory (DFT) calculations were performed on tripeptide arginyl-glycyl-aspartic acid (RGD) as an efficient drug carrier to deliver the commercially famous cyclophosphamide (CP) anticancer drug within ethanol solution. The most negative binding energy (-5.22 kcal/mol) was measured for the CP-RGD-7 created through the H-bond interaction between the P=O (phosphoryl) oxygen atom o...

Tuftsin, a naturally occurring tetrapeptide with a sequence Thr-Lys-Pro-Arg was evaluated for its in vivo protective effect against cyclophosphamide-induced genotoxicity and oxidative stress in Swiss albino mice. The anticancer drug cyclophosphamide (CP) was administered intra-peritonially to induce mutagenic effect. The drug treatment caused significant increase in chromosomal aberrations, for...

For medical professionals involved in cancer chemotherapy, occupational exposure of anticancer agents is considered a health risk. Education about the handling of anticancer drugs and proper use of protective equipment are important for reducing occupational exposure of anticancer drugs. Furthermore, monitoring of the contamination level of anticancer drugs is important for determining the prop...

the present study is aimed at the overall improvement in the efficacy, reduced toxicity and enhancement of therapeutic index of cisplatin. nanocapsules of cisplatin containing ethylcellulose have been prepared using solvent evaporation technique under ambient conditions. the prepared nanocapsules were used for controlled drug release of anticancer agents with gold and iron oxide nanoparticles. ...

The potential metabolic drug interactions between TNP-470, a potent inhibitor of angiogenesis, and several commonly used anticancer agents, such as cyclophosphamide, taxol, and minocycline, were investigated in vitro using primary cultured hepatocytes and microsomes of rhesus monkeys. After incubation of hepatocytes with 5 microM [3H]TNP-470, rapid and extensive formation of six metabolites was...
