Chemotherapeutic drugs

The present research reviewed previously published studies with the objective to enhance the understandings of the effects of different drugs on bone healing. There is clear evidence that antibiotics, corticosteroids, nonsteroidal inflammatory drugs, and chemotherapeutic drugs all affect bone healing.

Multidrug resistance (MDR) in tumour cells is often caused by the overexpression of the plasma drug transporter P-glycoprotein (P-gp). This protein is an active efflux pump for chemotherapeutic drugs,natural products and hydro-phobicpeptides.Despite theadvancesof recent years,we still have an unclear view of the molecular mechanismby which P-gp transports such a wide diversity of compounds across themembrane.

Malaria remains a major health problem especially in trop-ical and subtropical regions of the world, and therefore developing new antimalarial drugs constitutes an urgent challenge. Lipid metabolism has been attracting a lot of attention as an application for malarial chemotherapeutic purposes in recent years. However, little is known about glycosphingolipid biosynthesis inPlasmodium falciparum. In this report we describe for the first time the presence of an active glucosylceramide synthase in the intraerythrocytic stages of the parasite....

A number of drugs used in cancer chemotherapy induce oxidative stress by generation of oxygen free radicals (ROS) which might be an alternative mechanism for their cytotoxic effect via indu-cing apoptosis. In order to clarify the roles of antioxidants in chemotherapy, we investigated Quercetin (3,3’,4’,5,7-pentahyd-roxyflavone) and N-acetylcysteine (NAC) in different cell types treated with anticancer drugs. We studied cytotoxic activity of Topotecan alone and/or in combination with Quercetin in two human breast cancer cell lines, MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231. ...

ABCG2 confers resistance to cancer cells by mediating the ATP-dependent outward efflux of chemotherapeutic compounds. Recent studies have indi-cated that the protein contains a number of interconnected drug binding sites. The present investigation examines the coupling of drug binding to ATP hydrolysis.

Vinblastine and paclitaxel (Taxol) are widely used chemotherapeutic drugs that inhibit the normal function of microtubules causing mitotic arrest and cell death. Despite these similarities, the signaling pathways that mediate and regulate cell death induced by these agents remain incompletely under-stood.

Most drugs against malaria that are available or under development target a single process of the parasite infective cycle, favouring the appearance of resistant mutants which are easily spread in areas under chemotherapeutic treatments.

Ovarian cancer is the leading cause of death among women with gynecologic malignancies in the United States. Advanced ovarian cancers are difficult to cure with the current available chemotherapy, which has many associated systemic side effects. Doxorubicin is one such chemotherapeutic agent that can cause cardiotoxicity. Novel methods of delivering chemotherapy without significant side effects are therefore of critical need.
