pentamidine and Lung Neoplasms

pentamidine has been researched along with Lung Neoplasms in 3 studies

Pentamidine: Antiprotozoal agent effective in trypanosomiasis, leishmaniasis, and some fungal infections; used in treatment of PNEUMOCYSTIS pneumonia in HIV-infected patients. It may cause diabetes mellitus, central nervous system damage, and other toxic effects.
pentamidine : A diether consisting of pentane-1,5-diol in which both hydroxyl hydrogens have been replaced by 4-amidinophenyl groups. A trypanocidal drug that is used for treatment of cutaneous leishmaniasis and Chagas disease.

Lung Neoplasms: Tumors or cancer of the LUNG.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"Chlorpromazine is a potent and specific inhibitor of the mitotic kinesin KSP/Eg5 and inhibits tumor cell proliferation through mitotic arrest and accumulation of monopolar spindles."1.34The novel combination of chlorpromazine and pentamidine exerts synergistic antiproliferative effects through dual mitotic action.
