Tumor cell lines

TNF was originally identified because of its cytotoxic activity against some tumor cell lines and its ability to induce hemorrhagic necrosis of solid tumors in various animal models. However, the clinical use of TNF as an anticancer drug has been so far limited by its severe cardiovascular side effects. Therefore, TNF treatment is limited to regional and local administration of high doses of TNF, often in combination with chemotherapy, as accomplished in isolated limb and isolated hepatic perfusion (ILP and IHP, respectively) [5]. In the case of ILP, typically metastases are treated, patients benefit from this procedure by salvage of limbs from a loss by amputation. 

Vitamins and lipids are often required for animal cells to grow in serum-free medium. Phosphoethanolamine and ethanolamine are key additives that facilitate the growth of the mammary tumor cell line 64024 (Kano-Sueoka and Errick, 1981). In addition, ethanolamine promotes the growth of human lymphocytes and mouse hybridoma cells. Short-term cultures of human diploid lung and foreskin fibroblasts grow in medium that includes among its supplements soybean lecithin, cholesterol, sphingomyelin, and vitamin E.

These complexes show considerable in vitro cytotoxic effects against various tumor cell lines [70, 71[. Moreover, the cationic complexes [Au(N,N, N")Cl[Cl are able to intercalate into ct DNA [71[. Gold(III) amidate complexes of histidine containing... 

Some of the [Au(N,0)Cl2] derivatives, namely 58a, 59a and 59b, which have been tested for cytotoxic activity against various human tumor cell lines, have shown significant effects [144]. Compound 57 is a potential alternative to dimethylgold (III) P diketonates and can be used as a starting material for gold coatings by the CVD method [140]. Recent studies have shown that the long-term stability of these... 

A massive body of evidence has already been presented clearly indicating that the medicinal plants of the Pacific Rim elaborate a broad array of cytotoxic substances. Most of these have been characterized using experimental procedures designed to examine the cytotoxicity of natural products against human tumor cell lines. These procedures involve in vitro screening where the viability of cultured cells after exposure to an extract or a purified substance is measured.

Recent observations suggest that carotenoids may modulate the AP-1 activation process. It has been recently reported in mammary tumor cell lines that [3-carotene and its cleavage products were able to decrease the activation of AP-1 (Tibaduiza et al., 2002). Moreover, lycopene was also shown to downregulate AP-1 in mammary cancer cells (Karas et al., 2000). In addition, a pharmacological...

UGS1025A, a novel pentacyclic polyketide with an unprecedented furopyrrolizidine skeleton, 46 (Table 4) isolated from the fungus Acremorium sp. KY4917 exhibited antimicrobial and antiproliferative activity against human tumor cell lines. 

The range of these aza-ellipticine analogues, although by now extensive, is still insufficient to permit a systematic evaluation of their structure-activity relationships. It is established, however, that the three methylated compounds 11-13 are all less active than ellipticine toward a range of tumor cell lines <2004AP434>. 

Two new polycyclic pyridoacridine alkaloids, arnoamine B, 289, and its demethylated analogue, arnoamine A, have been isolated from the ascidian Cystodytes sp. These new compounds are the first known examples of pyrroles fused to pyridoacridines, have antifungal properties, and are cytotoxic in several human tumor cell lines <1998JOC1657>. Both these compounds have been synthesized, starting from the hydrazone 290 with a Fischer indole synthesis (Scheme 73) <2000JOC5476>.
