  • Options for the Treatment of Gemcitabine-Resistant Advanced Pancreatic Cancer
    JOP. J Pancreas (Online) 2010 Mar 5; 11(2):113-123. REVIEW Options for the Treatment of Gemcitabine-Resistant Advanced Pancreatic Cancer Ioannis Gounaris, Kamarul Zaki, Pippa Corrie Oncology Centre, Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Trust. Cambridge, United Kingdom Summary Context Pancreatic cancer is noteworthy in that the number of patients dying from the disease is roughly equal to the number diagnosed. For more than a decade, gemcitabine has constituted the standard of care for the palliative treatment of the majority of patients who present with metastatic or relapsed disease, although the survival gains are limited. Despite a median survival of less than 6 months, there is a significant proportion of advanced pancreatic cancer patients who progress on gemcitabine that remains fit and these patients are candidates for second-line treatment. Methods The OVID MEDLINE database was searched from 1950 to present using the MeSH terms “pancreatic neoplasms”, “drug treatment” and “gemcitabine”. After excluding non-relevant results, 31 published studies were identified. These results were supplemented by searching the last three (2007-2009) American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Proceedings of Annual Meetings for studies published only in abstract form and reviewing reference lists of published articles. Results and discussion The evidence for second line treatments of metastatic pancreatic cancer consists mostly of single arm, small phase II studies. Oxaliplatin-fluoropyrimidine combinations appear promising and have shown increased survival compared to best supportive care. As the molecular pathways governing pancreatic cancer are unravelled, novel targeted therapies may offer the greatest promise for this disease either given alone, combined with one another, or with cytotoxic agents.

Upon administration, tanibirumab specifically binds to VEGFR2, thereby preventing the binding of its ligand VEGF. This may result in the inhibition of tumor angiogenesis and a decrease in tumor nutrient supply. VEGFR2 is a pro-angiogenic growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase expressed by endothelial cells, while VEGF is overexpressed in many tumors and is correlated to tumor progression.

  • Research Paper Human Multidrug Resistance Associated Protein 4
    Pharmaceutical Research ( # 2005) DOI: 10.1007/s11095-005-7595-9 http://www.paper.edu.cn Research Paper Human Multidrug Resistance Associated Protein 4 Confers Resistance to Camptothecins Quan Tian,1 Jing Zhang,1 Theresa May Chin Tan,2 Eli Chan,1 Wei Duan,2 Sui Yung Chan,1 Urs Alex Boelsterli,1,3 Paul Chi-Lui Ho,1 Hongyuan Yang,2 Jin-Song Bian,3 Min Huang,4 Yi-Zhun Zhu,3 Weiping Xiong,5 Xiaotian Li,6 and Shufeng Zhou1,7 Received May 6, 2005; accepted July 22, 2005 Purpose. The multidrug resistance associated protein (MRP) 4 is a member of the adenosine triphosphate (ATP)-binding cassette transporter family. Camptothecins (CPTs) have shown substantial anticancer activity against a broad spectrum of tumors by inhibiting DNA topoisomerase I, but tumor resistance is one of the major reasons for therapeutic failure. P-glycoprotein, breast cancer resistance protein, MRP1, and MRP2 have been implicated in resistance to various CPTs including CPT-11 (irinotecan), SN-38 (the active metabolite of CPT-11), and topotecan. In this study, we explored the resistance profiles and intracellular accumulation of a panel of CPTs including CPT, CPT-11, SN-38, rubitecan, and 10-hydroxy-CPT (10-OH-CPT) in HepG2 cells with stably overexpressed human MRP4. Other anticancer agents such as paclitaxel, cyclophosphamide, and carboplatin were also included. Methods. HepG2 cells were transfected with an empty vehicle plasmid (V/HepG2) or human MRP4 (MRP4/HepG2). The resistance profiles of test drugs in exponentially growing V/HepG2 and MRP4/ HepG2 cells were examined using the 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazonium bromide (MTT) assay with 4 or 48 h exposure time of the test drug in the absence or presence of various MRP4 inhibitors.

  • Vivacitas Oncology Appoints Mr. Heng Fai Chan to the Board of Directors
    Vivacitas Oncology Appoints Mr. Heng Fai Chan to the Board of Directors Walnut Creek, CA – May 23rd, 2017 – Vivacitas Oncology Inc. (“Vivacitas”, or the “Company”), a biopharmaceutical company focused on developing camptothecin-based medications for cancer patients, announces the appointment of Mr. Heng Fai Chan to the Company’s Board of Directors. Concurrently, Heng Fai Enterprises Pte Ltd., controlled by Mr. Chan, made an investment into Vivacitas Oncology through the purchase of common stock. Mr. Chan brings over 40 years of international business experience to the board of directors with an exemplary track record of restructuring companies. “Vivacitas represents a tremendous investment opportunity in the field of oncologic drug development as the pipeline assets have progressed to a relatively late stage and are differentiated from other camptothecins in their improved formulations and reduced side effects,” said Mr. Chan. “Led by the Company’s scientific founder, the late Dr. Joseph Rubinfeld, the acquisition of Rubitecan (Orathecin) in the fourth quarter of 2016 enhanced the Company’s pipeline by adding a unique camptothecin-based formula that can be given orally. Taken together with the pipeline drug AR-67, acquired from a public company in early 2016, Vivacitas’ mid-to late- stage portfolio is positioned to fight a spectrum of cancers using camptothecins, which have been known for decades to have chemotherapeutics effects in a multitude of cancers. My immediate focus is to help the Company with its capital raising efforts and strategic transactions as we bring new treatments forward for patients.” Mr. Chan, based in Singapore, brings more than 40 years of operational experience; from founding companies to restructuring others globally, his companies speak to his expertise.

Received: 12 May 2020; Accepted: 9 June 2020; Published: 16 June 2020 Abstract: Pathogenic free-living amoebae, Balamuthia mandrillaris, Naegleria fowleri, and several Acanthamoeba species are the etiological agents of severe brain diseases, with case mortality rates > 90%. A number of constraints including misdiagnosis and partially effective treatments lead to these high fatality rates. The unmet medical need is for rapidly acting, highly potent new drugs to reduce these alarming mortality rates. Herein, we report the discovery of new drugs as potential anti-amoebic agents. We used the CellTiter-Glo 2.0 high-throughput screening methods to screen the Medicines for Malaria Ventures (MMV) Pandemic Response Box in a search for new active chemical scaffolds. Initially, we screened the library as a single-point assay at 10 and 1 µM.
