eflornithine and Glioma

eflornithine has been researched along with Glioma in 23 studies

Eflornithine: An inhibitor of ORNITHINE DECARBOXYLASE, the rate limiting enzyme of the polyamine biosynthetic pathway.
eflornithine : A fluoroamino acid that is ornithine substituted by a difluoromethyl group at position 2.

Glioma: Benign and malignant central nervous system neoplasms derived from glial cells (i.e., astrocytes, oligodendrocytes, and ependymocytes). Astrocytes may give rise to astrocytomas (ASTROCYTOMA) or glioblastoma multiforme (see GLIOBLASTOMA). Oligodendrocytes give rise to oligodendrogliomas (OLIGODENDROGLIOMA) and ependymocytes may undergo transformation to become EPENDYMOMA; CHOROID PLEXUS NEOPLASMS; or colloid cysts of the third ventricle. (From Escourolle et al., Manual of Basic Neuropathology, 2nd ed, p21)

( Gleason, MJ; Ictech, S; Levin, VA; Malec, M; Prados, MD; Yung, WK, 1992)
"In the current study, we sought to determine whether the addition of DFMO (alpha-difluoromethyl ornithine; eflornithine), an inhibitor of ornithine decarboxylase, to a nitrosourea-based therapy procarbazine, 1-(2-chloroethyl)-3-cyclohexyl-1-nitrosourea, vincristine (PCV) would be more effective as a postirradiation adjuvant therapy for anaplastic gliomas (AG) than PCV alone."5.10Phase III randomized study of postradiotherapy chemotherapy with combination alpha-difluoromethylornithine-PCV versus PCV for anaplastic gliomas.
