Ascorbate in pharmacologic concentrations selectively generates ascorbate radical and h... - 0 views

  • Proposed mechanism
  • The data show that pharmacologic ascorbate concentrations produced Asc•− selectively in extracellular fluid compared with blood and that H2O2 formation occurred when Asc•− concentrations were >100 nM in extracellular fluid.
  • These data validate the hypothesis that ascorbate is a prodrug for selective delivery of reactive species to the extravascular space

  • pharmacologic ascorbate as a prooxidant drug for therapeutic use.
  • Recently we reported that pharmacologic ascorbic acid concentrations produced H2O2 concentrations of ≥25 μM, causing cancer cell death in vitro
  • We found that H2O2 concentrations generated in vivo were those that caused cancer cell death in vitro
  • When ascorbate was given parenterally, Asc•−, the product of a loss of one electron from ascorbate, was detected preferentially in extracellular fluid compared with blood
  • Asc•− generation in extracellular fluid depended on the ascorbate dose and the resulting concentrations
  • With i.v. administration of ascorbate, Asc•− concentrations were as much as 12-fold greater in extracellular fluid compared to blood and approached 250 nM
  • In blood, such Asc•− concentrations were never produced and were always <50 nM
  • These data are all consistent with the hypothesis that pharmacologic ascorbate concentrations in vivo serve as a prodrug for selective delivery of H2O2 to the extracellular space
  • After oral ingestion, control of intracellular and extracellular ascorbate concentrations is mediated by three mechanisms: intestinal absorption, tissue transport, and renal reabsorption
  • intestinal absorption, or bioavailability, declines at doses >200 mg

      equates to 0.06 mM.  Max blood levels found with po AA dosing has been 0.22 mM
  • at approximately this concentration, the ascorbate tissue transporter SVCT2 approaches Vmax, and tissues appear to be saturated
    • Nathan Goodyear
       
      SVCT2 Rc in gut reach max binding.
  • also at ≈60 μM, renal reabsorption approaches saturation, and excess ascorbate is excreted in urine
  • Parenteral administration bypasses tight control
  • When tight control is bypassed, H2O2 forms in the extracellular space
  • in vivo validation of ascorbate as a prodrug for selective H2O2 formation
  • Temporarily bypassing tight control with parenteral administration of ascorbate allows H2O2 to form in discrete time periods only, decreasing likelihood of harm, and provides a pharmacologic basis for therapeutic use of i.v. ascorbate
  • H2O2 formation results in selective cytotoxicity
  • Tumor cells are killed with exposure to H2O2 for ≤30 min
  • In vitro, killing is mediated by H2O2 rather than Asc•−
  • In addition to cancer treatment, another potential therapeutic use is for treatment of infections. H2O2 concentrations of 25–50 μM are bacteriostatic
  • virally infected cells may also be candidates
  •  
    follow up invivo study to previous study from 2005.  Here, the authors prove their hypothesis that ascorbate is a prodrug for delivery of H2O2.

Low-Dose Chemotherapy with Insulin (Insulin Potentiation Therapy) in Combination with H... - 0 views

  • The method of insulin potentiation therapy was empirically invented in 1930 from Mexican doctor D. Perez Garsia
  • increases the permeability of cell membrane
  • influences the metabolic processes in human body with the increase of the regenerating processes
  • ...9 more annotations...
  • facilitates the transport of intra and extra cellular liquids which helps the organism to eliminate the toxic products
  • The increased number of insulin receptors on the tumor cell, in comparison to the normal one, allows the before mentioned 2 factors to act predominantly
  • Increased permeability after the insulin effect on the cellular membrane results in increased intracellular quantity of antitumor agents
  • have other endocrine effects: directly stimulates suprarenal gland to produce epinephrine and glucocorticoid hormones and stimulates ACTH secretion. These endocrine effects also have a positive influence on the regenerating processes
  • Insulin influences the intracellular metabolism of the tumor cell, which leads to increase of the number of cells in phase S, where they are with highly sensitive to specific chemotherapeutics.
  • After the first 6 IPT applications overall (groups A and B) response to treatment on PSA criteria shows partial effect and stabilization in 12 of 16 (75%) patients
  • After the 10th IPTLD application or 3 months after starting treatment, complete response, partial response, and stabilization were observed in 4 of 9 (66.6%), while in 3 of 9 (33.3%) was registered complete effect
  • the advanced stage of disease in patients treated
  • Quality of life after the second IPTLD application is significantly improved
  •  
    IPT found to be effextive in treated castrate-resistant prostate cancer.
