dipyridamole and Melanoma

dipyridamole has been researched along with Melanoma in 7 studies

Dipyridamole: A phosphodiesterase inhibitor that blocks uptake and metabolism of adenosine by erythrocytes and vascular endothelial cells. Dipyridamole also potentiates the antiaggregating action of prostacyclin. (From AMA Drug Evaluations Annual, 1994, p752)
dipyridamole : A pyrimidopyrimidine that is 2,2',2'',2'''-(pyrimido[5,4-d]pyrimidine-2,6-diyldinitrilo)tetraethanol substituted by piperidin-1-yl groups at positions 4 and 8 respectively. A vasodilator agent, it inhibits the formation of blood clots.

Melanoma: A malignant neoplasm derived from cells that are capable of forming melanin, which may occur in the skin of any part of the body, in the eye, or, rarely, in the mucous membranes of the genitalia, anus, oral cavity, or other sites. It occurs mostly in adults and may originate de novo or from a pigmented nevus or malignant lentigo. Melanomas frequently metastasize widely, and the regional lymph nodes, liver, lungs, and brain are likely to be involved. The incidence of malignant skin melanomas is rising rapidly in all parts of the world. (Stedman, 25th ed; from Rook et al., Textbook of Dermatology, 4th ed, p2445)

"In the search for cytokines whose antiproliferative action could be enhanced by combination with dipyridamole, 2,6-bis(diethanolamino)-4,8-dipiperidinopyrimido[5,4-d]pyrim idine, the combination of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) with this agent was evaluated in various human tumor cell lines."1.29Dipyridamole combined with tumor necrosis factor-alpha enhances inhibition of proliferation in human tumor cell lines.
