Download or read book DNA Topoisomerases in Cancer Therapy written by Toshiwo Andoh and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the mid 80's type I and II enzymes were found to be the intracellular targets of a number of efficacious anticancer drugs such as doxorubicin, mitoxantrone, etoposide and camptothecin as a result of a continued efforts of many investigators, especially Leroy Liu and his collaborators at Johns Hopkins University. Readers will find a series of chapters written by researchers actively engaged in the expanding field of topoisomerase and their inhibitors. The series of chapters cover review articles on pharmacology and the molecular mechanism of topoisomerase I- and II-targeting anticancer drugs in mammals and in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, which has proved to be a superb model organism for studies of anticancer drugs. This volume compiles up-to-date information on the topoisomerase-targeting compounds in clinical and preclinical development as a useful and important reference book for students and researchers in the field of pharmacology, toxicology, oncology and molecular biology.

Book Synopsis DNA Topoisomerases in Cancer by : Milan Potmesil
Download or read book DNA Topoisomerases in Cancer written by Milan Potmesil and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 1991 with total page 364 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: DNA Topoisomerases are a unique class of enzymes that are responsible for the control and modification of DNA topology (tertiary structure); one example of their function is the transformation of chromosomes from a supercoiled condensed state to uncoiled strands and vice versa. They are of interest both for their intrinsic role in cell biology (i.e. control of cell division) and also because some anticancer drugs, such as camptothecin, act by inhibiting their action.

Download or read book Molecular Biology of DNA Topoisomerases and Its Application to Chemotherapy written by Toshiwo Andoh and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 1992-10-26 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Molecular Biology of DNA Topoisomerases and Its Application to Chemotherapy is based on conference proceedings from the International Symposium on DNA Topoisomerases in Chemotherapy, held in Nagoya, Japan, in November 1991. The book opens with a discussion of the structural and functional properties of various types of DNA topoisomerases identified in prokaryotes and eukaryotes, in addition to their roles as cellular targets of anticancer and antimicrobial agents. Other topics addressed include the genetics and biology of DNA topoisomerases, inhibitors of microbial DNA topoisomerases and drug resistance, inhibitors of mammalian DNA topoisomerases and drug resistance, and preclinical and clinical studies of DNA topoisomerase inhibitors. Molecular Biology of DNA Topoisomerases and Its Application to Chemotherapy will broaden the understanding of biology and genetics of DNA topoisomerases and contribute to the development of antimicrobial and anticancer agents-inhibitors of topoisomerases. It will be invaluable for oncologists, molecular biologists, cellular biologists, geneticists, biochemists, and pharmaceutical researchers.

Book Synopsis Molecular and Clinical Advances in Anticancer Drug Resistance by : Robert F. Ozols
Download or read book Molecular and Clinical Advances in Anticancer Drug Resistance written by Robert F. Ozols and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The importance of drug resistance in cancer chemotherapy cannot be over stated. The 500,000 patients who die every year from cancer in the United States have, in most cases, been treated with chemotherapy. Many of these patients responded initially to chemotherapy, but death resulted from the development of drug-resistant tumors. In the first volume in the series. Drug Resistance in Chemotherapy the results of comprehensive laboratory studies aimed at understanding the mechanisms for resistance to individual agents and to the development of broad cross-resistance were described. In the past 2 years there has been substantial progress in understanding the molecular biology associated with these mechanisms of drug resistance. For the first time we are starting to understand which mechanisms are playing an im portant role in human tumors, and even more importantly, clinical trials have recently been initiated in an effort to reverse specific forms of drug resistance. The purpose of this volume is to describe the new advances, both at the molecular level and in the clinic regarding mechanisms of drug resistance and potential ways this resistance can be circumvented. This volume is focused upon mechanisms of resistance associated with two major classes of anticancer drugs: alkylating agents (including cisplatin) and the natural products (e. g. , adriamycin and vinblastine). The first section of the book describes new insights into the genetic mechanisms associated with drug resistance.
Book Synopsis Cytotoxic Payloads for Antibody–Drug Conjugates by : David E Thurston
Download or read book Cytotoxic Payloads for Antibody–Drug Conjugates written by David E Thurston and published by Royal Society of Chemistry. This book was released on 2019-07-11 with total page 502 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Antibody–drug conjugates (ADCs) represent one of the most promising and exciting areas of anticancer drug discovery. Five ADCs are now approved in the US and EU [i.e., ado-trastuzumab emtansine (KadcylaTM), brentuximab vedotin (AdcetrisTM), inotuzumab ozogamicin (BesponsaTM), gemtuzumab ozogamicin (MylotargTM) and moxetumomab pasudotox-tdfk (Lumoxiti®)] and over 70 others are in various stages of clinical development, with impressive interim results being reported for many. The technology is based on the concept of delivering a cytotoxic payload selectively to cancer cells by attaching it to an antibody targeted to antigens on the cell surfaces. This approach has several advantages including the ability to select patients as likely responders based on the presence of antigen on the surface of their cancer cells and a wider therapeutic index, given that ADC targeting enables a more efficient delivery of cytotoxic agents to cancer cells than can be achieved by conventional chemotherapy, thus minimising systemic toxicity. Although there are many examples of antibodies that have been developed for this purpose, along with numerous linker technologies used to attach the cytotoxic agent to the antibody, there is presently a relatively small number of payload molecules in clinical use. The purpose of this book is to describe the variety of payloads used to date, along with a discussion of their advantages and disadvantages and to provide information on novel payloads at the research stage that may be used clinically in the future.

Book Synopsis Advances in DNA Sequence-specific Agents by : M. Palumbo
Download or read book Advances in DNA Sequence-specific Agents written by M. Palumbo and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 1997-11-19 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this volume the entire focus is devoted to the macromolecule target specificity of DNA interactive developmental therapeutic agents of current interest. A brief introduction to DNA interactive anticancer agents is included for readers who may benefit from an overview surrounding the developments that have contributed to our general understanding of this field. The following nine chapters have been carefully chosen so that they describe topics which are at the forefront of development in DNA-targeted cancer chemotherapy. Issues that have been addressed include the mechanisms of selective DNA topoisomerase I and II poisoning by antitumor agents (Chapters 1 and 2), sequence-specific recognition of DNA by groove-binding drugs and drug-conjugates (Chapters 3 and 4), recent developments in nitrogen mustard alkylating agents and their potential use for antibody-directed enzyme-prodrug therapy (Chapter 5), nonclassical platinum anticancer complexes, including dinuclear and trans-platinum derivatives (Chapter 6), DNA cleaving antitumor chromoproteins containing reactive enediyne moieties, which exhibit interesting free-radical chemistry along with selective targeting (Chapter 7), the potential of new sequence-specific antisense and antigene therapy in oncology (Chapter 8), and finally the conceivable chemotherapeutic use of mimetics of the DNA structure, obtained by substitution of the sugar-phosphate natural chain with a peptide backbone, the so-called peptide nucleic acids (Chapter 9). Important approaches being currently investigated for selective cancer treatment, such as gene therapy and immunochemotherapy, are not discussed in this volume since they fall beyond its scope.
