pentamidine and Malignant Melanoma

pentamidine has been researched along with Malignant Melanoma in 4 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pentamidine : A diether consisting of pentane-1,5-diol in which both hydroxyl hydrogens have been replaced by 4-amidinophenyl groups.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.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"Pentamidine is a small molecule inhibitor of the Ca(+)-binding protein S100B and disrupts the S100B-p53 protein-protein interaction; this is thought to restore wild-type p53 tumour suppressor function in melanoma."7.76The effect of pentamidine on melanoma ex vivo. ( Cree, IA; Glaysher, S; Knight, LA; Peregrin, K; Smith, J; Stewart, BJ; Weber, DJ, 2010)
