Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractP-Glycoprotein-Mediated Efflux and Drug Sequestration in Lysosomes Confer Advantages of K562 Multidrug Resistance Sublines to Survive Prolonged Exposure to Cytotoxic AgentsNathupakorn Dechsupa, Samlee MankhetkornProblem statement: Cellular drug resistance to anticancer agents is major obstacle in cancer chemotherapy and the mechanisms by which these MDR cells possess for protecting themselves to survive prolonged exposure to cytotoxic agents still debating. The study aimed to clarify the role of P-glycoprotein (Pgp) and enhanced drug sequestration in lysosomes to confer the multidrug resistance K562 cells with varied … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2009 · 7,504 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSesame Oil As A Protective Agent Against Doxorubicin Induced Cardio Toxicity In RatKaneez F. Shad, Suhail Al-Salam, Alaaeldin A. HamzaThe therapeutic value of doxorubicin (DXO) as anticancer antibiotic is limited by its cardiotoxicity. This study aimed to investigate the protective effect of sesame oil against DXO-induced cardiotoxicity and oxidative stress. The administration of DXO (20 mg/kg) to Wister male rats, increased serum aspartate aminotransferase and creatine kinase activities (as cardiotoxicity indices) as well as cardiac malondialdehyde and protein carbonyl … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2007 · 7,670 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordCrude Extract of Blue-Green Pigment Derived from the Marine Bacterium Pseudomonas aeruginosa P1.S9 has Antibacterial, Antioxidant, and Cytotoxic ActivitiesAris Tri Wahyudi, Rahmah Nursari, Widya Esti Purwaningtyas et al.Pigment derived from marine bacteria is one of the alternative sources of natural products characterized by beneficial functions for pharmaceutical purposes. This study aimed to evaluate the antimicrobial, antioxidant and cytotoxic activities of the marine bacterium Pseudomonas aeruginosa P1. S9 crude pigment extract and identify its chemical content. Crude pigment extract of this bacterium showed promising antibacterial activities against Pseudomonas … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 22, Issue 1 · 4 Mar 2022 · 6,994 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordRADIOSENSITIZATION OF CANCER STEM CELLS: TARGETING TGFβ, NOTCH OR TELOMERASE TO IMPROVE TUMOR RESPONSE O RADIOTHERAPYIgnacio Fernandez-GarciaRadiation resistant cancer stem cells are the main reason for treatment failure and tumor recurrence after cancer radiotherapy. Increasing biological evidences demonstrate that these cells possess the capacity to repair radiation induced DNA damage, protect themselves from radiation derived reactive oxygen species, survive and proliferate after several fractions of radiotherapy and finally, repopulate the heterogeneity of the tumor. Thus, targeting … …Current Research in Medicine, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 16 Jul 2014 · 7,459 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordQuercetin, Quercetrin Except Rutin Potentially Increased Pirarubicin Cytotoxicity by Non-Competitively Inhibiting the P-Glycoprotein-and MRP1 Function in Living K562/adr and GLC4/adr CellsWinit Choiprasert, Nathupakorn Dechsupa, Suchart Kothan et al.Problem statement: Quercetin and its glycoside derivatives are increasingly receiving interests as new generation of anticancer molecules and were recognized by multidrug resistant transporters such as P-glycoprotein and MRP1 protein. Of relevance to their use as anticancer agents alone or in combination with other agents, this study aims to analyze the interaction of the compounds with the MDR transporters including … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2010 · 9,670 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordAnticancer Activities of Styrylpyrone from the Leaves and Twigs of Goniothalamus maewongensis via Cell Cycle ArrestPradit Pradupsri, Chatchanok Loetchutinat, Narong Nuntasaen et al.Problem statement: Goniothalamus maewongensis is one of three new species which are found in Thailand recently. The genus goniothalamus is not only well known for the rich of styrylpyrones but also famous for the potential of biological activities, especially the cytotoxic activity against a number of human cancer cell lines. The phytochemical and biological investigations of this plant are interesting … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 12 · 31 Dec 2009 · 8,192 accessesView PDF Cite
