چکیده

cause the suppression. Hypoxanthine completely prevented these biochemical effects of MIX and partially protected the cells against its lethal effects. Thus, in the murine S-phase lymphoblasts, MTX produces a purineless state, the degree of which depends upon the growth rate of the population. The purineless state probably contributes to the lethal effect of MTX, and this may partly explain the relation between growth rate and cytotoxicity by antifolates.

The Photothermal Effect of Targeted Methotrexate-Functionalized Multi-Walled Carbon Nanotubes on MCF7 Cells

Abstract Purpose: our goal is to reduce the release rate of methotrexate (MTX) and increase cell death efficiency. Methods: Carboxylated multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT-COOH) were functionalized with MTX as a cytotoxic agent, FA as a targeting moiety and polyethylene amine (PEI) as a hydrophilic agent. Ultimately, MWCNT-MTX and MWCNT-MTX-PEI-FA were synthesized. Methotrexate re...

Effects of allopurinol on the therapeutic efficacy of methotrexate.

The antitumor effects of methotrexate against early leukemia L1210 were partially reversed by the coadministration of allopurinol in vivo, even though allopurinol did not alter the growth-inhibitory effects of methotrexate against L1210 cells in culture. These data suggest that this alteration in antitumor activity results from a decreased catabolism of preformed systemic purines by allopurinol...

Cell death induction by Streptococcus pyogenes in four types of malignant cell lines

  Abstract   Background: The interest in using bacteria as anti- cancer therapeutic agents dates back to the end of the19th century. Some bacteria like Salmonella and Listeria replicate effectively inside malignant cell lines and suppress their growth. The bacterium Streptococcus pyogenes has become medically famous as a flesh-eating pathogen since mid-1980s. It is the causative agent of a life...
