fenclonine and Head and Neck Neoplasms

fenclonine has been researched along with Head and Neck Neoplasms in 1 studies

Fenclonine: A selective and irreversible inhibitor of tryptophan hydroxylase, a rate-limiting enzyme in the biosynthesis of serotonin (5-HYDROXYTRYPTAMINE). Fenclonine acts pharmacologically to deplete endogenous levels of serotonin.

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
" PCPA (2 g 8 hourly for 2 or 3 days prior to cisplatin) reduced the spontaneous urinary excretion of 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid (5-HIAA), inhibited the increase in urinary 5-HIAA induced by cisplatin and markedly attenuated the acute period of nausea and vomiting associated with the cytotoxic drug."5.08Treatment with para-chlorophenylalanine antagonises the emetic response and the serotonin-releasing actions of cisplatin in cancer patients.
