The goal of this study is to determine whether treatment with methylselenocysteine (MSC) results in differential uptake of irinotecan and its active metabolite (SN-38) between tumors of head and neck squamous cell carcinomas and normal tissue. The in

Objective The role of methylseleninic acid (MSeA), a selenium compound, has been documented in cancer chemoprevention. However, the therapeutic effect of MSeA in combination with paclitaxel, a chemotherapeutic agent used to treat ovarian cancer, is u

Until recently, the use of Se-methylselenocysteine (MSC) as selective modulator of the antitumor activity and selectivity of anticancer drugs including irinotecan, a topoisomerase I poison, had not been evaluated. Therapeutic synergy between MSC and

Methylselenocysteine (MSC) is an organic selenium compound in preventative clinical trials involving prostate, lung, and colon carcinoma. We found that methioninase-activated MSC potentiates 7-ethyl-10-hydroxycamptothecin (SN-38)-induced cell lethali

A novel karenitecin, BNP1350, is a topoisomerase I-targeting anticancer agent with significant antitumor activity in vitro and in vivo. A BNP1350-resistant human head and neck carcinoma A253 cell line, denoted A253/BNPR, was developed. The A253/BNPR

Promotion of apoptosis may potentiate the sensitivity of tumor cells to chemotherapeutic agents, thus improving the efficacy of cancer treatment. The transfection of the proapoptotic bax gene, which results in the overexpression of bax protein, augme
