Tumor targeting by conjugation of DHA to paclitaxe... [J Control Release. 2001] - PubMe... - 0 views

  •  
    Not only does DHA, Omega 3, increase effectiveness of chemotherapy drug Taxol, but it reduces the toxicity too.  Why doesn't every chemo regimen with Taxol, now include DHA?

The Potential Utility of Curcumin in the Treatment of HER-2-Overexpressed Breast Cancer... - 0 views

  •  
    Curcumin downregulates HER-2 oncoprotein in breast cancer in vitro and in vivo.  IN this study, the combination of taxol and curcumin was comparable to that of taxol and perceptin.

British Journal of Cancer - Phase I//II study of DHA-paclitaxel in combination with car... - 0 views

  • Preclinical studies have demonstrated increased activity, relative to paclitaxel, with the potential for an improved therapeutic ratio.
  • No alopecia was seen
  •  
    DHA, omega-3,  improves effectiveness of Taxol therapy; but without HAIR LOSS

Searching For an Old New Cure: Ivermectin Deficiency Syndrome? « The Healthy ... - 0 views

  • Ivermectin can inactivate the protein kinase PAK1 and blocks the PAK1-dependent growth of human ovarian cancer and NF2 tumor cell lines
  • PAK proteins encoded by the PAK1 gene are critical for cytoskeleton reorganization and nuclear signaling.
  • PAK-1 kinase is required for the growth of more than 70% of human cancers such as pancreatic, colon, breast and prostate cancers, and neurofibromatosis
  • ...5 more annotations...
  • The p21 activated Kinase PAK1 is implicated in tumor genesis.
  • Inhibiting PAK1 signals induce tumor cell apoptosis (cell death)
  • PAK1 has also been implicated for maintenance of glucose homeostasis in pancreatic beta cells and skeletal muscle
  • Ivermectin induces chloride-dependent membrane hyperpolarization and cell death in leukemia cells (Blood, November 4, 2010, vol.115). The paper states Ivermectin synergizes with chemo agents cytarabine and daunorubicin to induce cell death in leukemia cells.
  • Praziquantel , my other favorite parasite medication for liver flukes, synergistically enhances Paclitaxel (Taxol) efficacy to inhibit cancer cell growth
  •  
    Just a commentary but with important information on ivermectin in its inhibitory activity against another oncogene PAK1.
