nitroglycerin and Cancer of Prostate

nitroglycerin has been researched along with Cancer of Prostate in 11 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.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"To evaluate the use of topical lidocaine gel and glyceryl trinitrate ointment (GTN) vs placebo, in reducing anal pain and discomfort as an adjunct to periprostatic anesthesia because of probe insertion, during the use of transrectal ultrasonography (TRUS) prostate-guided biopsy in young patients."3.77Comparison between lidocaine and glyceryl trinitrate ointment for perianal-intrarectal local anesthesia before transrectal ultrasonography-guided prostate biopsy: a placebo-controlled trial. ( Gekas, A; Konstantinidis, C; Samarinas, M; Skriapas, K; Xanthis, S, 2011)
"Using human DU145 prostate cancer cells, we assessed the effect of the NO mimetic glyceryl trinitrate (GTN) and the cGMP analogue 8-Bromo-cGMP on hypoxic accumulation of HIF-1α."1.56Inhibition of hypoxia-inducible factor 1α accumulation by glyceryl trinitrate and cyclic guanosine monophosphate. ( Barsoum, IB; Graham, CH; Kim, J; Loh, H; Paré, JF; Siemens, DR, 2020)
"Survival of human prostate and breast cancer cells was assessed by clonogenic assays following exposure to chemotherapeutic agents."1.34Chemosensitization of cancer in vitro and in vivo by nitric oxide signaling. ( Adams, MA; Bennett, BM; Frederiksen, LJ; Graham, CH; Macdonald-Goodfellow, SK; Maxwell, LR; Siemens, DR; Sullivan, R, 2007)
"Hypoxia is also associated with human prostate cancers, which are highly resistant to chemotherapy."1.32Hypoxia induced resistance to doxorubicin in prostate cancer cells is inhibited by low concentrations of glyceryl trinitrate. ( Adams, MA; Frederiksen, LJ; Graham, CH; Heaton, JP; Maxwell, LR; Siemens, DR, 2003)
