background: calprotectin is cytotoxic agent that its anti-tumor effects are governed through suppression of topoisomerase ii a key enzyme in apoptosis. in previous studies, cytotoxicity and apoptotic effects of calprotectin are shown on different cancer cell lines, but not human gastric cancer cell lines. in the present study, cytotoxicity and apoptotic effects of calprotectin on human gastric ...

A methylene blue-encapsulated apoferritin complex shows cytotoxic effects on MCF-7 human breast adenocarcinoma cells when irradiated at the appropriate wavelength.

apoptosis, or programmed cell death, is an essential physiological process that plays a critical role in development and tissue homeostasis. caspases, a family of cysteine-dependent aspartate-directed proteases, play a critical role in the initiation and execution of apoptosis. in this study, cytotoxicity and apoptogenic effect of 2-phenyl 4-carboxamide derivatives were evaluated in sknmc (huma...

abstractwe are reporting a 43-year-old female breast cancer case with a solitary metastatic adenocarcinoma in clivus. this patient with a stage ii (t1n1m0) breast cancer history has been followed for 7 years.  modified radical mastectomy (mrm) and 6 courses chemotherapy with cmf (cyclophosphamide, metotrexate, 5fu) regimen were done for her at the time of diagnosis. also, she took tamoxifen twe...

The synthesis of five new tetracyclic benzofurocoumarin (benzopsoralen) analogues is described. Their inhibitory effects on the growth of three human tumor cell lines (MDA MB 231 (breast adenocarcinoma), HeLa (cervix adenocarcinoma) and TCC-SUP (bladder transitional cell carcinoma) were evaluated, and discussed in terms of structure-activity relationship.

A series of fluorinated tetrahydropyrano[3,2-c]chromenes and dihydropyrano[3,2-b]pyran derivatives have been synthesized and their in vitro cytotoxic activities have been determined in cervical cancer cell line (HeLa), human breast adenocarcinoma cell line (MDA-MB-231 and MCF-7) and human alveolar adenocarcinoma cell line (A549). Compounds 4g, 4k, 4p showed a very potent activity against MDA-MB...

 ABSTRACTWe are reporting a 43-year-old female breast cancer case with a solitary metastatic adenocarcinoma in clivus. This patient with a stage II (T1N1M0) breast cancer history has been followed for 7 years.  Modified Radical Mastectomy (MRM) and 6 courses chemotherapy with CMF (Cyclophosphamide, Metotrexate, 5FU) regimen were done for her at the time of diagnosis. Also, she took tamoxifen tw...

Objective(s) This study was carried out in order to evaluate the effects of electrochemotherapy, electrical pulses and chemotherapeutic drugs on the killing of cancerous cells and their probable synergistic effects. Materials and Methods Electrochemotherapy treatments conducted on MCF-7 cell line derived from human breast adenocarcinoma tumor using four chemotherapeutic drugs including bleom...

The present study aimed to evaluate Antioxidant and Cytotoxic activity of phytofabricated silver nanoparticles (FmF-AgNPs) derived from Figs Ficus mollis. This green synthesized FmF-AgNPs were tested for antioxidant with DPPH assay cytotoxicity against MCF-7 (Human breast adenocarcinoma cell lines) MTT at various concentrations. data obtained demonstrated that posses both which is dosage-depend...

Estrogen is a known risk factor in human breast cancer. In rodent models, estradiol has been shown to induce tumors in those tissues in which this hormone is predominantly converted to the catechol metabolite 4-hydroxyestradiol by a specific 4-hydroxylase enzyme, whereas tumors fail to develop in organs in which 2-hydroxylation predominates. We have now found that microsomes prepared from human...
