mono-targeting by imatinib as a main antitumor agent does not always accomplish complete cancer suppression. 2,5-dimethyl-celecoxib (dmc) is a close structural analog of the selective cyclooxygenase-2 (cox-2) inhibitor, celecoxib, that lacks cox-2 inhibitory function. in this study, we aimed to show the apoptotic effects of imatinib in combination with dmc in human ht-29 colorectal cancer (crc)...

The present study was conducted to evaluate the expression of caspase-3, caspase-9, growth differentiation factor-9 (GDF-9) and insulin factor-1 (IGF-1) genes in oocytes cultured vitro with optimum elevated doses amphiregulin (50 ng 150 ng), neuregulin-1 (25 ng) tumor necrosis factor-α during maturation based on results effects AREG or NRG-1 TNF-α concentration which caused significant effect, ...

Caspase-3, one of the dominant effectors caspases, is activated in almost every model of apoptosis with various signaling pathways. Hence, inhibition of caspase-3 has become an attractive target in the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases. Caspase-3 inhibitory activities of some 1,2-benzisothiazol-3-one derivatives were modeled by quantitative structure–activity relationship (QSAR) using ste...
