Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"Curcumin treatment significantly induced spermine oxidase (SMOX) mRNA and activity, which results in the generation of hydrogen peroxide, a source of ROS."1.48Curcumin mediates polyamine metabolism and sensitizes gastrointestinal cancer cells to antitumor polyamine-targeted therapies. ( Casero, RA; Dunworth, M; Giardiello, FM; Lui, Y; Murray-Stewart, T; Woster, PM, 2018)
" Both marked antitumor effects and side effects were observed in mice treated at the dosage of DFMO 500 mg/kg/day and/or MGBG 50 mg/kg/day and/or MGBG 30 mg/kg/day brought about significant antitumor effects as well as less side effects."1.26[Antitumor effects of polyamine synthesis inhibitors based on major premise of treatment for human malignant tumor]. ( Fujimoto, S; Hirose, S; Igarashi, K; Okui, K; Shrestha, RD; Terao, K, 1982)
