The multitude and diversity of environmental carci... [Environ Res. 2007] - PubMed result - 0 views

  • Of major concerns are: outdoor air pollution by carbon particles associated with polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons; indoor air pollution by environmental tobacco smoke, formaldehyde and volatile organic compounds such as benzene and 1,3 butadiene, which may particularly affect children, and food pollution by food additives and by carcinogenic contaminants such as nitrates, pesticides, dioxins and other organochlorines. In addition, carcinogenic metals and metalloids, pharmaceutical medicines and cosmetics may be involved

Intravenous Ascorbate as a Tumor Cytotoxic Chemotherapeutic Agent - 0 views

  • There is a 10 — 100-fold greater content of catalase in normal cells than in tumor cells
  • induce hydrogen peroxide generation
  • Ascorbic acid and its salts (AA) are preferentially toxic to tumor cells in vitro (6 — 13) and in vivo
  • ...36 more annotations...
  • related to intracellular hydrogen peroxide generation
  • only be obtained by intravenous administration of AA
  • Preferentially kills neoplastic cells
  • Is virtually non-toxic at any dosage
  • Does not suppress the immune system, unlike most chemotherapy agents
  • Increases animal and human resistance to infectious agents by enhancing lymphocyte blastogenesis, enhancing cellular immunity, strengthening the extracellular matrix, and enhancing bactericidal activity of neutrophils and modulation of complement protein
  • Strengthens the structural integrity of the extracellular matrix which is responsible for stromal resistance to malignant invasiveness
  • 1969, researchers at the NCI reported AA was highly toxic to Ehrlich ascites cells in vitro
  • In 1977, Bram et al reported preferential AA toxicity for several malignant melanoma cell lines, including four human-derived lines
  • Noto et al reported that AA plus vitamin K3 had growth inhibiting action against three human tumor cell lines at non-toxic levels
  • Metabolites of AA have also shown antitumor activity in vitro
  • The AA begins to reduce cell proliferation in the tumor cell line at the lowest concentration, 1.76 mg/dl, and is completely cytotoxic to the cells at 7.04 mg/dl
  • the normal cells grew at an enhanced rate at the low dosages (1.76 and 3.52 mg/dl)
  • preferential toxicity of AA for tumor cells. >95% toxicity to human endometrial adenocarcinoma and pancreatic tumor cells (ATCC AN3-CA and MIA PaCa-2) occurred at 20 and 30 mg/dl, respectively.
  • No toxicity or inhibition was demonstrated in the normal, human skin fibroblasts (ATCC CCD 25SK) even at the highest concentration of 50 mg/dl.
  • the use of very high-dose intravenous AA for the treatment of cancer was proposed as early as 1971
  • Cameron and Pauling have published extensive suggestive evidence for prolonged life in terminal cancer patients orally supplemented (with and without initial intravenous AA therapy) with 10 g/day of AA
  • AA, plasma levels during infusion were not monitored,
  • the long-term, oral dosage used in those experiments (10 g/day), while substantial and capable of producing immunostimulatory and extracellular matrix modulation effects, was not high enough to achieve plasma concentrations that are generally cytotoxic to tumor cells in culture
  • This low cytotoxic level of AA is exceedingly rare
  • 5 — 40 mg/dl of AA is required in vitro to kill 100% of tumor cells within 3 days. The 100% kill levels of 30 mg/dl for the endometrial carcinoma cells and 40 mg/dl for the pancreatic carcinoma cells in Figure 2 are typical
  • normal range (95% range) of 0.39-1.13 mg/dl
  • 1 h after beginning his first 8-h infusion of 115 g AA (Merit Pharmaceuticals, Los Angeles, CA), the plasma AA was 3.7 mg/dl and at 5 h was 19 mg/dl. During his fourth 8-h infusion, 8 days later, the 1 h plasma level was 158 mg/dl and 5 h was 185 mg/dl
  • plasma levels of over 100 mg/dl have been maintained in 3 patients for more than 5 h using continuous intravenous infusion
  • In rare instances of patients with widely disseminated and rapidly proliferating tumors, intravenous AA administration (10 — 45 g/day) precipitated widespread tumor hemorrhage and necrosis, resulting in death
  • Although the outcomes were disastrous in these cases, they are similar to the description of tumor-necrosis-factor-induced hemorrhage and necrosis in mice (52) and seem to demonstrate the ability of AA to kill tumor cells in vivo.
  • toxic effects of AA on one normal cell line were observed at 58.36 mg/dl and the lack of side effects in patients maintaining >100 mg/dl plasma levels
  • Although it is very rare, tumor necrosis, hemorrhage, and subsequent death should be the highest priority concern for the safety of intravenous AA for cancer patients.
  • Klenner, who reported no ill effects of dosages as high as 150 g intravenously over a 24-h period
  • Cathcart (55) who describes no ill effects with doses of up to 200 g/d in patients with various pathological conditions
  • following circumstances: renal insufficiency, chronic hemodialysis patients, unusual forms of iron overload, and oxalate stone formers
  • Screening for red cell glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency, which can give rise to hemolysis of red blood cells under oxidative stress (57), should also be performed
  • any cancer therapy should be started at a low dosage to ensure that tumor hemorrhage does not occur.
  • patient is orally supplementing between infusions
  • a scorbutic rebound effect can be avoided with oral supplementation. Because of the possibility of a rebound effect, measurement of plasma levels during the periods between infusions should be performed to ensure that no such effect takes place
  • Every effort should be made to monitor plasma AA levels when a patient discontinues intravenous AA therapy.

    Older study, 1995, but shows the long-standing evidence that IVC preferentially is cytotoxic to cancer cells.`
