IC50: 1.7-4.0 μM for tested cancer cell lines

NSC348884 is a nucleophosmin inhibitor.

Nucleophosmin is identified as a multifunctional nucleolar phosphoprotein, which is dysregulated in human malignancies resulting in anti-apoptosis and differentiation inhibition.

In vitro: NSC348884, which was identified as a putative nucleophosmin small molecular inhibitor, was found to be able to disrupt a hydrophobic pocket that was required for oligomerization, and NSC348884 could also inhibit the cell proliferation in distinct cancer cell lines and disrupt nucleophosmin oligomer formation. Moreover, the treatment of several cancer cell types with NSC348884 could dose-dependently upregulate p53 and also induce apoptosis that correlated with H2AX phosphorylation, poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase cleavage as well as Annexin V. Furthermore, NSC348884 could also synergize doxorubicin cytotoxicity on the viability of cancer cells [1].

In addition, there was no significant difference in overall cell death that was observed by histology in the treated tumors with the 4-hour brief treatments, indicating that the inhibition seen was specific to migration

    NSC 210902 is an ATP competitive inhibitor of CK2 [1]. Casein Kinase 2 (CK2) is a protein kinase involved in the phosphorylation of various cellular proteins, which have been essential for cell growth and transcription, as well as the regulators of cell cycle and apoptosis. It has been reported that casein kinase 2 is activated following Wnt signaling pathway activation. Abnormal CK2 expression and function have been associated with a number of pathologies, including inflammatory, infectious, and carcinogenic processes. Overexpression of CK2 is associated with cell transformation and neoplasia [1].…

    P 53 also known as “the guardian of the genome” is a tumor suppressor gene that works regulating the cell cycle and apoptosis. It is a very important gene since the lack of its action can allow the cells to divide an abnormal number of times and if action is not taken by the cell’s checkpoints, this could lead to cancer. The evolution of tumors associated with mutations in the p53 gremlin is not well understood and numerous researches have been completed trying to identify all of its characteristics. As all inherited gene mutations, p53 mutations are present in all somatic cells, but the effect of these mutations can have malignant effect on the cells.…

    Targeted therapy ahs been successful in halting the tumor growth in 81 per cent of the patients in comparison to chemotherapy, which slows down tumor growth in just 15 per cent of the population for an average of two months(Harmon “A Drug Trial Cycle: Recovery, Relapse, Reinvention” 2). In addition to these advantages the use of targeted therapy has made it possible to control melanoma in the advanced stages of melanoma where the chance of survival is minimal. “The New England Journal of Medicine called the drug “a major breakthrough” for people with advanced melanoma, whose median survival is eight months after diagnosis” (Harmon “A Drug Trial Cycle: Recovery, Relapse, Reinvention” 2). Targeted therapy has proved to be less toxic and more tolerable by the patients than traditional chemotherapy(Harmon “A Drug Trial Cycle: Recovery, Relapse, Reinvention” 1).

    Osteosarcoma is a relatively radioresistant Tumor. Thus, adjuvant chemotherapy and surgery have been the backbones of treatment. Prophylactic whole lung irradiation was utilized in the late 1970s as a method for decreasing lung metastases post-operatively (Breur, Cohen, Schweisguth, & Hart, 1978). Prebiopsy Low-dose irradiation (around 10 Gy) can be given before the initial biopsy in order to decrease the viability of the malignant cells that can be disseminated into the circulatory system by the biopsy. However, a previous study found no distinctions in survival rate between patients receiving radiotherapy before biopsy and historic controls, which discouraged additional investigation (Halperin, Constine, Tarbell, & Kun, 2004).…

    Radiation is defined as emission of energy in the form of x rays and gamma rays. It is transmitted from one place to another. Ionizing radiation is high energy waves that pass the body's tissue, that produces positive and negative charged particles. These high energy waves remove electrons from atoms and cause an interaction between the x rays and the patient. This process is referred to as ionizing radiation.…

    State of the Problem In its variety of forms, cancer is estimated to affect more than 14 million people per year, and is the cause the death of more than 8 million (National Cancer Institute). Despite millions of dollars of research in the field, and a concentrated effort by researchers around the globe, a panacea for cancer doesn’t exist, although much headway has been made in earlier detection and better treatment methods. Much of the difficulty in treating the disease lies in its diversity; cancer is as varied as it is deadly.…

    Romidepsin is a bicyclic compound that acts as a prodrug within the body. A prodrug is a drug that is originally inactive until the body metabolizes it and turns it active. In the case of Romidepsin, glutathione in the body’s cells reduce the drugs disulfide bridges, thus allowing the free sulfur groups (forming thiols) to interact with zinc ions in class I and II HDAC’s active sites. Romidepsin can have multiple target genes, however the most important one found is p21, a tumor-suppressor gene. Romidepsin acts to induce the expression of p21, which would have otherwise been de-acetylated and under-expressed.…

    It is also conceivable that, at lower pH, depurination can occur via protonation of the purine nucleobase at both N1 and N7. The presence of the 2′-OH has a significant effect on the nucleoside’s susceptibility to depurination. For example, guanosine and adenosine are more resistant to depurination compared to deoxyadenosine and deoxyguanosine. Deoxyadenosine itself depurinates 1200 times faster than adenosine (York, 1981).…

    One of the most important aspects of cancer is its’ heterogeneity. What this means is that there is not just one definitive “cancer” [2]. Cancer can originate from anywhere in the body which accounts for various types of cancers. For example, there are several prevalent forms of cancer such as carcinoma, prostate cancer, breast cancer, lymphoma, melanoma and many more like them [3]. One aspect that is shared by all types of cancer is the breaking down of the cell division process.…

    Metastases can make diagnosis and treatment tricky since the cells can spread to any place in the body. The goal in the treatment of any cancer is to treat it quickly and as aggressively as needed before it has the chance to spread. Although, a lot of the times with malignant tumors, they are removed, but then have to be stopped from spreading. Unfortunately, malignant tumors are quite difficult to stop from invading other surrounding…

    Nephrotoxicity is associate adverse effect of the anticancer drugs for solid and hematologic malignancies (Kintzel, 2001). Cisplatin, cisplatinum or cis-diamminedichloroplatinum (II) , a platinum-based drug, is one of the most frequently used anti-neoplastic agents. It has a potent anti-tumor action against wide range of malignancies, including testicular, ovarian, cervical, bladder and lung cancers as well as solid tumors resistant to other treatment regimens (Hanigan and Devarajan, 2003). The kidney is not only responsible for the excretion of cisplatin, but is also the primary site of its accumulation (Miller et al., 2010).…
