background: daunorubicin‑induced acute cardiotoxicity caused by oxidative stress and free radical formation. pomegranate possessed a significant in vitro free radical scavenging activity. therefore, the aim of this study was estimations of the role of pomegranate effects in daunorubicin‑induced cardiotoxicity. methods: a total of 21 sprague male rats were allocated into three groups, seven anim...

We have studied the influence of verapamil hydrochloride on the in vitro and in vivo effects of daunorubicin in Ehrlich ascites carcinoma. Daunorubicin-sensitive tumor was rendered resistant to daunorubicin by the continuous treatment of sequential generations of tumor-bearing BALB/c mice. The ability of daunorubicin to inhibit [(3)H]uridine and [(3)H]thymidine incorporation and the effect of d...

purpose: to determine the efficacy and safety of subconjuctival injection of mitomycin c versus daunorubicin for treatment of pterygium. methods: this randomized double blind placebo-controlled clinical trial included 54 eyes of 36 patients with pterygium who were referred to al-zahra hospital, zahedan-iran in 2004. eyes were randomly assigned to three groups including mitomycin c, daunorubicin...

BACKGROUND Multidrug resistance is the main obstacle to the efficiency of systemic chemotherapy against hematologic malignancy. This study investigated the reversible effect of the copolymer wogonin and daunorubicin coloaded into Fe(3)O(4) magnetic nanoparticles, and the mechanism potentially involved. METHODS The growth inhibition rate of K562/A02 cells was investigated by MTT assay, and apo...

The development of drug resistance by tumor cells is a major obstacle to the cure of human malignancy. Cyclosporin A (CsA) completely reverses primary resistance to vincristine and cross resistance to daunorubicin in a pleiotropic drug-resistant subline of human T cell acute lymphatic leukemia. This subline is over 50-fold resistant to vincristine and fivefold resistant to daunorubicin. CsA has...

The effect of combinations of the anthracyclines aclarubicin and daunorubicin was investigated in a clonogenic assay using the human small cell lung cancer cell line OC-NYH and a multidrug-resistant (MDR) murine subline of Ehrlich ascites tumor (EHR2/DNR+). It was found that the cytotoxicity of daunorubicin in OC-NYH cells was antagonized by simultaneous exposure to nontoxic concentrations of a...

The physicochemical properties of Doxorubicin–PEG–FOL and Daunorubicin-PEG-FOL ( Doxorubicin and Daunorubicin conjugated to polyethylene glycol–folate nanoparticles) have been estimated using Density functional Theory (DFT) and Hartree Fock(HF) calculations.In this report some geometrical parameters of Doxorubicin-PEG-FOL complex of the conjugated complex and Daunorubicin–PEG–FOL complex of the...

Prior studies have shown that intravitreal daunorubicin (9-15 nmol) and triamcinolone acetonide (2 mg) are effective individually in preventing retinal detachment in experimental proliferative vitreoretinopathy. This report compares the efficacy of the combination of daunorubicin (15 nmol) and triamcinolone acetonide (2 mg) with that of daunorubicin alone in a refined experimental model of prol...
