Drug kinetics and drug resistance in optimal chemotherapy.
A system of differential equations for the control of tumor cells growth in a cycle nonspecific chemotherapy is presented. First-order drug kinetics and drug resistance are taken into account in a class of optimal control problems. The results show that the strategy corresponding to the maximum rate of drug injection is optimal for the Malthusian model of cell growth (which is a relatively good...
متن کاملChemotherapy and drug resistance in malaria.
Over recent years many antimalarial drugs have been rendered useless by the development of resistance by the malaria parasite. New antimalarials are rapidly suffering the same fate as the traditional therapies and yet a biological understanding of the mechanisms of resistance has, until recently, not been described. This review describes recent work which has identified the mechanism of resista...
متن کاملDrug Resistance
عفونت و تهاجم ارگانیسم های انگلی به بدن، عامل اصلی بیماری و مرگ انسانها از آغاز بشریت بوده است . در حقیقت بسیاری از اشکال حیات بدون غلبه بر ارگانیسم های زنده دیگر، قادر به ادامه زندگی نخواهند بود. انسانها معمولا مستعد تهاجم ارگانیسم های کوچکتری مانند کرمها، آمیب ها، قارچها، باکتریها و ویروسها هستند. این عوامل مکان خاصی را در بدن انتخاب کرده، مواد ضروری لازم برای حیات و تکثیر خود را دریافت نموده...
متن کاملMechanisms of drug resistance in cancer chemotherapy.
The management of cancer involves procedures, which include surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Development of chemoresistance is a persistent problem during the treatment of local and disseminated disease. A plethora of cytotoxic drugs that selectively, but not exclusively, target actively proliferating cells include such diverse groups as DNA alkylating agents, antimetabolites, intercalat...
متن کاملMathematical Modeling and Lyapunov-Based Drug Administration in Cancer Chemotherapy
In this paper a new mathematical model is developed for the dynamics between tumor cells, normal cells, immune cells, chemotherapy drug concentration and drug toxicity. Then, the theorem of Lyapunov stability is applied to design treatment strategies for drug protocols that ensure a desired rate of tumor cell kill and push the system to the area with smaller tumor cells. Using of this theorem a...
