nitroglycerin and Cancer of Lung

nitroglycerin has been researched along with Cancer of Lung in 17 studies

Nitroglycerin: A volatile vasodilator which relieves ANGINA PECTORIS by stimulating GUANYLATE CYCLASE and lowering cytosolic calcium. It is also sometimes used for TOCOLYSIS and explosives.
nitroglycerol : A nitrate ester that is glycerol in which nitro group(s) replace the hydrogen(s) attached to one or more of the hydroxy groups.
nitroglycerin : A nitroglycerol that is glycerol in which the hydrogen atoms of all three hydroxy groups are replaced by nitro groups. It acts as a prodrug, releasing nitric oxide to open blood vessels and so alleviate heart pain.

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"Seventeen patients with operable lung adenocarcinoma and stable angina pectoris were selected to investigate the effects of nitroglycerin on immunoreactivity for hypoxia-inducible factor 1alpha (HIF-1alpha), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), P-glycoprotein (P-gp), the production of which is regulated by HIF-1, and p53 proteins in their resected tumor by semiquantitative immunohistochemical analyses."9.12Nitroglycerin treatment may enhance chemosensitivity to docetaxel and carboplatin in patients with lung adenocarcinoma. ( Asada, M; Fuji, H; Inoue, D; Kanda, A; Kaneta, T; Kondo, T; Nakayama, K; Okinaga, S; Sasaki, H; Sasaki, T; Suzuki, S; Suzuki, T; Takai, Y; Watanabe, M; Yamanda, S; Yamaya, M; Yanagihara, K; Yasuda, H; Yoshida, M; Zayasu, K, 2006)
