BACKGROUND: The thieno[2,3-b]pyridines were discovered by virtual high throughput screening as potential inhibitors of phospholipase C (PLC) isoforms and showed potent growth inhibitory effects in National Cancer Institute's human tumour cell line panel (NCI60). The mechanism of the anti-proliferative...

BACKGROUND: Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is a highly diverse group of cancers characterized by tumors that does not express estrogen and progesterone receptors, as well as human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) gene expression. TNBC is associated with...

Targeted versus chrono-targeted chemotherapy for inhaled chemotherapy in non-small cell lung cancer.

Translational lung cancer research

Zarogoulidis P, Darwiche K, Kalamaras G, Huang H, Hohenforst-Schmidt W, Zarogoulidis K.
PMID: 25806211
Transl Lung Cancer Res. 2013 Feb;2(1):E17-22. doi: 10.3978/j.issn.2218-6751.2012.12.07.

Lung cancer long term survival still remains poor and early detection is still the best methodology to treatment. Therefore several novel approaches have been investigated for anticancer drug administration. Inhaled therapies for lung diseases are used since the ancient...

FL118, a novel camptothecin analogue, overcomes irinotecan and topotecan resistance in human tumor xenograft models.

American journal of translational research

Ling X, Liu X, Zhong K, Smith N, Prey J, Li F.
PMID: 26692923
Am J Transl Res. 2015 Oct 15;7(10):1765-81. eCollection 2015.

Irinotecan and topotecan are the only camptothecin analogues approved by the FDA for cancer treatment. However, inherent and/or acquired irinotecan and topotecan resistance is a challenging issue in clinical practice. In this report, we showed that FL118, a novel...

The relevance of drug sequence in combination chemotherapy.

Drug resistance updates : reviews and commentaries in antimicrobial and anticancer chemotherapy

Shah MA, Schwartz GK.
PMID: 11498402
Drug Resist Updat. 2000 Dec;3(6):335-356. doi: 10.1054/drup.2000.0165.

The concept of combining chemotherapeutic agents to increase the cytotoxic efficacy has evolved greatly over the past several years. In the past, the rationale for combination chemotherapy centered on attacking different biochemical targets, overcoming drug resistance in heterogenous tumors,...
