amsacrine and Head and Neck Neoplasms

amsacrine has been researched along with Head and Neck Neoplasms in 8 studies

Amsacrine: An aminoacridine derivative that intercalates into DNA and is used as an antineoplastic agent.
amsacrine : A sulfonamide that is N-phenylmethanesulfonamide substituted by a methoxy group at position 3 and an acridin-9-ylamino group at position 4. It exhibits antineoplastic activity.

Head and Neck Neoplasms: Soft tissue tumors or cancer arising from the mucosal surfaces of the LIP; oral cavity; PHARYNX; LARYNX; and cervical esophagus. Other sites included are the NOSE and PARANASAL SINUSES; SALIVARY GLANDS; THYROID GLAND and PARATHYROID GLANDS; and MELANOMA and non-melanoma skin cancers of the head and neck. (from Holland et al., Cancer Medicine, 4th ed, p1651)

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"Although only a few patients with head and neck cancer have been included in broad phase II studies, several responses have been reported, but detailed data concerning responders are lacking."2.68A two-step reevaluation of high-dose amsacrine for advanced carcinoma of the upper aerodigestive tract: a pilot phase II study. ( Jelic, S; Jovanovic, V; Kovcin, V; Milanovic, N; Nikolic-Tomasevic, Z; Tomasevic, Z; Vlajic, M, 1997)
"Using a human head and neck squamous carcinoma cell line 183A, we have investigated the effect of beta-all-trans-retinoic acid (RA), a substance with known antiproliferative effects, on the DNA cleavage and cytotoxic activities of etoposide and 4'-(acridinylamino)methanesulfon-m-anisidide which interact with topoisomerase II."1.28Effect of retinoic acid on DNA cleavage and cytotoxicity of topoisomerase II-reactive drugs in a human head and neck squamous carcinoma cell line.
