valproic acid and Small Cell Lung Carcinoma

valproic acid has been researched along with Small Cell Lung Carcinoma in 3 studies

Valproic Acid: A fatty acid with anticonvulsant and anti-manic properties that is used in the treatment of EPILEPSY and BIPOLAR DISORDER. The mechanisms of its therapeutic actions are not well understood. It may act by increasing GAMMA-AMINOBUTYRIC ACID levels in the brain or by altering the properties of VOLTAGE-GATED SODIUM CHANNELS.
valproic acid : A branched-chain saturated fatty acid that comprises of a propyl substituent on a pentanoic acid stem.

Small Cell Lung Carcinoma: A form of highly malignant lung cancer that is composed of small ovoid cells (SMALL CELL CARCINOMA).

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"Lung cancer is the most frequent cause of cancer death."1.72Tumors derived from lung cancer cells respond differently to treatment with sodium valproate (a HDAC inhibitor) in a chicken embryo chorioallantoic membrane model. ( Balnytė, I; Diržiuvienė, R; Lasienė, K; Palubinskienė, J; Šlekienė, L; Stakišaitis, D; Valančiūtė, A, 2022)
"Among the mechanisms of resistance of small cell lung carcinomas (SCLCs) to TRAIL is the lack of caspase-8 expression."1.37Combined inhibition of DNA methyltransferase and histone deacetylase restores caspase-8 expression and sensitizes SCLC cells to TRAIL. ( Kaminskyy, VO; Surova, OV; Vaculova, A; Zhivotovsky, B, 2011)
"Prognosis of small cell lung carcinoma (SCLC) is particularly poor, less than 5% of patients with extensive stage being alive after two years."1.36Preclinical evidence for a beneficial impact of valproate on the response of small cell lung cancer to first-line chemotherapy. ( Albelda, SM; Burny, A; Crisanti, C; Crisanti, MC; Hubaux, R; Kapoor, V; Mascaux, C; Vandermeers, F; Willems, L, 2010)
