The ruthenium-based complex [Ru(eta(6)-p-phenylethacrynate)Cl-2(pta)] (pta = 1,3,5-triaza-7-phosphatricyclo-[3.3.1.1]decane), termed ethaRAPTA, is an interesting antitumor compound. The elucidation of the molecular mechanism of drug activity is central to ...
Background: Increasing evidence shows that the cancer microenvironment affects both tumorigenesis and the response of cancer to drug treatment. Therefore in vitro models that selectively reflect characteristics of the in vivo environment are greatly needed ...
The present invention relates to compounds useful in the treatment of cancers, in particular cancers overexpressing the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) such as non-small cell lung or breast cancers. ...
Background: Angiogenesis is widely investigated in conjunction with cancer development, in particular because of the possibility of early stage detection and of new therapeutic strategies. However, such studies are negatively affected by the limitations of ...
The present invention relates to an agent able to block a cancer supportive function of a fasciclin protein family member and to pharmaceutical compositions containing the same. ...
The cancer chemotherapeutic potential of surfactant-cobalt(III) complexes, cis-Co(bpy)(2)(C14H29NH2)Cl(2) center dot 3 H2O (1) and cis-Co(phen)(2)(C14H29NH2)Cl(2) center dot 3 H2O (2) (bpy 2,2 '-bipyridine, phen 1,10-phenanthroline) on MCF- ...
Phosphorus-based ligands are an extremely important class of ligand and they have found many applications, especially in homogeneous catalysis. In addition, a phosphine ligand is found in a gold drug used to treat rheumatoid arthritis. Since metal compound ...
The hallmarks of cancer comprise six biological capabilities acquired during the multistep development of human tumors. The hallmarks constitute an organizing principle for rationalizing the complexities of neoplastic disease. They include sustaining proli ...
Both metal complexes and organic molecules are widely used for the treatment of various diseases including cancer - in addition to surgery and radiotherapy. Recent years have witnessed a surge of interest in the application of organometallic compounds to t ...
The identification of compounds that specifically inhibit or kill cancer cells without affecting cells from healthy tissues is very challenging but very important for reducing the side effects of current cancer therapies. Hence, there is an urgent need for ...
