tolbutamide and Retinoblastoma

tolbutamide has been researched along with Retinoblastoma in 1 studies

Tolbutamide: A sulphonylurea hypoglycemic agent with actions and uses similar to those of CHLORPROPAMIDE. (From Martindale, The Extra Pharmacopoeia, 30th ed, p290)
tolbutamide : An N-sulfonylurea that consists of 1-butylurea having a tosyl group attached at the 3-position.

Retinoblastoma: A malignant tumor arising from the nuclear layer of the retina that is the most common primary tumor of the eye in children. The tumor tends to occur in early childhood or infancy and may be present at birth. The majority are sporadic, but the condition may be transmitted as an autosomal dominant trait. Histologic features include dense cellularity, small round polygonal cells, and areas of calcification and necrosis. An abnormal pupil reflex (leukokoria); NYSTAGMUS, PATHOLOGIC; STRABISMUS; and visual loss represent common clinical characteristics of this condition. (From DeVita et al., Cancer: Principles and Practice of Oncology, 5th ed, p2104)

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"Our previous work has shown that tolbutamide increases gap junctional permeability in poorly coupled C6 glioma cells and that this effect is similar and additive to that found with dbcAMP, a well-known activator of gap junctional communication."7.73Tolbutamide reduces glioma cell proliferation by increasing connexin43, which promotes the up-regulation of p21 and p27 and subsequent changes in retinoblastoma phosphorylation. ( Herrero-González, S; Medina, JM; Paíno, T; Sánchez-Alvarez, R; Tabernero, A, 2006)
