The DNA repair protein O6-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase (MGMT, alkyltransferase) is an important suicide enzyme involved in defense against O6-alkylating endogenous metabolites and environmental carcinogens. It also plays a pivotal role in primary an ...
Doxorubicin has the widest spectrum of antitumor activity of all antineoplastic agents and is the most utilized anticancer drug worldwide. Unfortunately there are several tumor types that do not respond to doxorubicin and, furthermore, its effectiveness is ...
Purpose: The present study was initiated to det. the conditions under which a single photodynamic treatment would induce maximal damage to a tumor with no or at least minimal reversible damage to a normal striated muscle. Methods and Materials: The techniq ...
Oxygen dependent phototoxicity was investigated in vivo in an orthotopic rat bladder tumor model. Two photosensitizers, benzoporphyrin derivative monoacid ring A and 5-aminolevulinic acid-induced protoporphyrin IX were studied. For a given cumulative light ...
In a model of nude mice bearing a human colon carcinoma xenograft, the biodistribution and tumor localization of metatetrahydroxyphenylchlorin (m-THPC) coupled to polyethylene glycol (PEG) were compared with those of the free form of this photosensitizer u ...
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Under standardized conditions (drug and light dose, timing), the result of the photodynamic therapy (PDT) of carcinomas of the esophagus with tetra(meta-hydroxyphenyl)chlorin (mTHPC) shows large variations between patients. STUDY ...
The use of dyes has been helpful for the photodiagnosis of small cancers accessible to endoscopic examn. An important limiting factor of this technol. is that the presently used fluorescent dye mixt. has a relatively poor capacity to accumulate preferentia ...
