Background Recently, taurolidine has been intensively studied on a variety of in-vitro cancer cell-lines and first data exhibit encouraging antitumoral effects. While the clinical use of taurolidine is considered, some studies with in-vivo experiments contradict this beneficial effect and even indicate advanced cancer growth. The aim of this study ...

Electronic (e)-cigarettes have been marketed for more than a decade as an alternative to conventional cigarettes. Their popularity and use among adolescents have grown significantly during recent years. While e-cigarettes do not release carcinogenic aromatic hydrocarbons, they can generate reactive carbonyls and radicals during the heating process ...

Anti-cancer agents in medicinal chemistry
The active ingredients in the shark liver oil (SLO) mixture were found to be a group of etherlinked glycerol known as alkylglycerols (AKGs). During the last century, initial clinical use of the SLO mixture was for treating leukemias and later preventing radiation sickness from cancer x-ray therapy. Selachyl alcohol is one of the most abundant AKGs ...

Betulin and betulinic acid derived 30-oxo-amides were prepared by hydroboration, subsequent oxidation and amidation; these novel compounds were screened for their cytotoxic activity by SRB assays. All of the compounds showed significant cytotoxic activity for different human tumor cell lines. Small changes in the structure, however, resulted in sig...
