5-Fluorouracil Release from Chitosan-Based Matrix. Experimental and Theoretical Aspects

Maria-Alexandra Paun

A series of four drug release formulations based on 5-fluorouracil encapsulated into a chitosan-based matrix were prepared by in situ hydrogelation with 3,7-dimethyl-2,6-octadienal. The formulations were investigated from structural and morphological aspec ...

A structure-based mechanism of cisplatin resistance mediated by glutathione transferase P1-1

Paul Joseph Dyson, Laure Menin, Wee Han Ang

Cisplatin [cis-diamminedichloroplatinum(II) (cis-DDP)] is one of the most successful anticancer agents effective against a wide range of solid tumors. However, its use is restricted by side effects and/or by intrinsic or acquired drug resistance. Here, we ...

Chemotherapy elicits pro-metastatic extracellular vesicles in breast cancer models

Michele De Palma, Alan Nicolas Thierry Guichard, Mario Leonardo Squadrito, Chiara Cianciaruso, Esra Güç, Ioanna Keklikoglou, Antonino Cassarà

Cytotoxic chemotherapy is an effective treatment for invasive breast cancer. However, experimental studies in mice also suggest that chemotherapy has pro-metastatic effects. Primary tumours release extracellular vesicles (EVs), including exosomes, that can ...

Recent Considerations in the Application of RAPTA-C for Cancer Treatment and Perspectives for Its Combination with Immunotherapies

Paul Joseph Dyson, Patrycja Nowak-Sliwinska, Magdalena Rausch

The organometallic ruthenium(II) [Ru(arene)Cl2PTA] PTA - 1,3,5-triaza-7-phosphaadamantane compound, RAPTA-C, represents an innovative anti-cancer therapeutic and a better-tolerated alternative to platinum (Pt)-based chemotherapeutic drugs in the treatment ...

Chemo-manipulation of tumor blood vessels by a metal-based anticancer complex enhances antitumor therapy

Paul Joseph Dyson, Hubert van den Bergh, Tina Riedel

Human pleural mesothelioma is an incurable and chemoresistant cancer. Using a nude mouse xenograft model of human pleural mesothelioma, we show that RAPTA-T, a compound undergoing preclinical evaluation, enhances tumor vascular function by decreasing blood ...

Interstitial fluid pressure: A novel biomarker to monitor photo-induced drug uptake in tumor and normal tissues.

Georges Wagnières, Michaël Bensimon, Matthieu Philippe Emmanuel Zellweger, Xi Wang, Jean Yannis Perentes

Low-dose photodynamic therapy PDT (photoinduction) can modulate tumor vessels and enhance the uptake of liposomal cisplatin (Lipoplatin®) in pleural malignancies. However, the photo-induction conditions must be tightly controlled as overtreatment shuts dow ...

Treatment of pleural malignancies by photo-induction combined to systemic chemotherapy: Proof of concept on rodent lung tumors and feasibility study on porcine chest cavities

Georges Wagnières, Michaël Bensimon, Elodie Debefve, Laurent Décosterd, Jean Yannis Perentes

Background: Low-dose, Visudyne (R)-mediated photodynamic therapy (photo-induction) was shown to selectively enhance tumor vessel transport causing increased uptake of systemically administered chemotherapy in various tumor types grown on rodent lungs. The ...

A colorectal cancer classification system that associates cellular phenotype and responses to therapy

Douglas Hanahan, Krisztian Homicsko, Anguraj Sadanandam, Stephan Wullschleger

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a major cause of cancer mortality. Whereas some patients respond well to therapy, others do not, and thus more precise, individualized treatment strategies are needed. To that end, we analyzed gene expression profiles from 1,290 ...

{(1R,2R,4R)-4-Methyl-1,2-cyclohexanediamine}oxalatoplatinum(II): A Novel Enantiomerically Pure Oxaliplatin Derivative Showing Improved Anticancer Activity in Vivo

Christian Hartinger, Alexey Nazarov

Novel derivatives of the clinically established anticancer drug oxaliplatin were synthesized. Cytotoxicity of the compounds was studied in six human cancer cell lines by means of the MTT assay. Additionally, most promising complexes were also investigated ...
