Paclitaxel Resistance Research Paper

Decent Essays
Abstract
Paclitaxel is the most effective anticancer agent. It is utilized for various cancer types, especially for the treatment of ovarian cancer. However, paclitaxel resistance is one of the foremost problem for cancer chemotherapy. Most importantly, emergence of paclitaxel resistance due to mutation (F270V) in β-tubulin has been extremely deliberated in recent years. With the rise of paclitaxel resistant mutation in β-tubulin there is a need to add a novel inhibitor from natural source, as they have less chance of getting resistance additionally less side effects. Keeping this in mind we have utilized experimental and insilco approaches to isolate the potent inhibitor for β-tubulin target protein. Firstly, phytocompounds from Cassia fistula

    The malignant cells that are prone to cancer are negatively charged, so they are more prone to bind cationic amphipathic antimicrobial peptides. They also have high probability on transferring of protein from one side of the membrane up to the other side of it, which can lead to the disturbance of destabilization of the membrane, that will result to the leakage of electrolytes but, therefore, leading the cell to death. And this explains how Polybia-MP1 kills the malignant cells that can lead to cancer. Therefore, the person will have a higher chance to survive from…

    Doxorubicin is an anthracycline antitumor antibiotic effective against a wide range of malignant tumors, although the life threating cardiac toxicity limits its long-term applications. One potential approach to overcome the cardiac toxicity of doxorubicin is to use a glucuronide prodrug (HMR 1826) from which the active drug is released by the action of β-glucuronidase, an enzyme present at high concentration in the necrotic regions of tumor (Bosslet et al., 1998). HMR 1826 has shown to possess 7-fold higher tumor selectivity index and 100 times less cardiotoxicity than doxorubicin (Murdter et al., 1997, Platel et al., 1999). However, low circulation half-life and bioconversion only at the inflammatory cell infiltration sites have restricted…

    Rituximab Research Paper

    Rituximab is an antibody that is primarily found on the surface of B cells in the immune system. It destroys B cells and thus is used to treat diseases that are characterized by B cell disorders e.g. overactive B cells, excessive numbers of B cells, or dysfunctional B cells. Rituximab use has been associated with increased risk of hepatitis B virus reactivation in patients who are negative for hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) and positive for anti-hepatitis B core antibody (anti-HBc). The authors of this study aim to clarify the risk of HBV reactivation in a cohort of HBsAg-negative/anti-HBc-positive patients treated with rituximab-containing combination chemotherapy without concomitant antiviral prophylaxis and to identify possible risk factors for HBV reactivation in the patients.…

    Chemotherapy alone or in combination with other therapies including surgical interventions and radiotherapy forms the basis of treatment strategies for cancer. However development of resistance in cancer cells against chemotherapeutics reduces the efficacy of these anti-cancer drugs. Another major roadblock is the dose-limiting toxicities associated with these drugs. Doxorubicin (Adriamycin) is a potent anthracyclic anti-cancer drug that has been used in multiple treatment regimens for the broad spectrum of cancers [1,2]. Although doxorubicin has proven to be an exceptionally effective for the treatment of cancer clinically, the major hurdles that impair its efficacy include a) development of acquired resistance in the cancer cells against…
