eflornithine and Pancreatic Neoplasms

eflornithine has been researched along with Pancreatic Neoplasms in 22 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.

Pancreatic Neoplasms: Tumors or cancer of the PANCREAS. Depending on the types of ISLET CELLS present in the tumors, various hormones can be secreted: GLUCAGON from PANCREATIC ALPHA CELLS; INSULIN from PANCREATIC BETA CELLS; and SOMATOSTATIN from the SOMATOSTATIN-SECRETING CELLS. Most are malignant except the insulin-producing tumors (INSULINOMA).

" Here, we tested DFMO in combination with a polyamine transport inhibitor (PTI), Trimer44NMe, against Gemcitabine-resistant PDAC cells."1.48Difluoromethylornithine Combined with a Polyamine Transport Inhibitor Is Effective against Gemcitabine Resistant Pancreatic Cancer. ( Altomare, DA; Copik, AJ; Gitto, SB; Hogan, FC; Oyer, JL; Pandey, V; Phanstiel, O, 2018)
"Establishment of this human carcinoid xenograft line, BON, provides an excellent model to study further the biological behavior of carcinoid tumors and the in vivo effect of chemotherapeutic agents on tumor growth."1.28Establishment and characterization of a human carcinoid in nude mice and effect of various agents on tumor growth. ( Allen, E; Evers, BM; Hurlbut, SC; Kim, SW; Rajaraman, S; Reubi, JC; Singh, P; Thompson, JC; Townsend, CM; Upp, JR, 1991)
" On the basis of these prior findings, we investigated the effects of alpha-difluoromethylornithine (DFMO), a specific inhibitor of ornithine decarboxylase, alone and in combination with cis-diamminedichloroplatinum(II) (cisplatin), to which two of the four cell lines display relative resistance."1.27Inhibition of growth of human or hamster pancreatic cancer cell lines by alpha-difluoromethylornithine alone and combined with cis-diamminedichloroplatinum(II). ( Black, O; Chang, BK; Gutman, R, 1984)
"CsA had inhibitory effects on H2T pancreatic cancer growth similar to those of alpha-DFMO; these effects were blocked by the addition of the polyamine putrescine."1.27Effects of cyclosporin A and alpha-difluoromethylornithine on the growth of hamster pancreatic cancer in vitro. ( Barranco, SC; James, E; Saydjari, R; Thompson, JC; Townsend, CM, 1986)
