Harmless virus may hold key to more effective HIV drug discovery
A simple, harmless virus might hold the key to the more effective and efficient development of HIV and anti-viral drugs, UCI chemical biologists have found. view more (2005-08-29)
To avoid stomach upset in arthritis patients, drug combination more effective
UCLA/VA researchers found that for arthritis patients, taking a combination of two drugs may be most effective in protecting against stomach upset called dyspepsia, which is a side effect of common pain medications. view more (2006-05-02)
NSAIDs: Painkillers, inflammation inhibitors, anti-cancer drugs and new de-methylating agents
Researchers at the National Sun Yat-Sen University and Kaohsiung Medical University, Kaohsiung, Taiwan have revealed a new mechanism by which nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) attenuate tumor invasion and metastasis. view more (2008-03-27)
Not all 'drug-related deaths' are 'drug-related'
UK estimates of 'drug-related deaths' (DRDs) include mortalities of drug abusers and non-drug abusers. So these figures may not be the best way of monitoring the performance of Drug and Alcohol Action Teams. view more (2007-08-09)
Scientists solve mystery of polyketide drug formation
Many top-selling drugs used to treat cancer and lower cholesterol are made from organic compounds called polyketides, which are found in nature but historically difficult for chemists to alter and reproduce in large quantities. view more (2008-04-02)
Sea creature's toxin could lead to promising cancer treatment
A toxin derived from a reclusive sea creature resembling a translucent doughnut has inspired UT Southwestern Medical Center researchers to develop a related compound that shows promise as a cancer treatment. view more (2007-02-06)
Existing antiretroviral drugs may thwart vaginal HIV transmission, researchers report
Prescription drugs now used to treat human immunodeficiency virus infection in adults may prevent the vaginal transmission of HIV, researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center have found. view more (2008-01-15)
UCL study shows beans beat cancer
Scientists have discovered a new and potent anti-cancer compound in everyday food. The collaborative study led by UCL (University College London) shows that the compound-inositol pentakisphosphate-found in beans, nuts and cereals inhibits a key enzyme (phosphoinositide 3-kinase) involved in tumour growth. view more (2005-09-16)
Future diabetes treatment may use resveratrol to target the brain
Resveratrol, a molecule found in red grapes, has been shown to improve diabetes when delivered orally to rodents. Until now, however, little has been known about how these beneficial changes are mediated in the body. view more (2009-10-06)
Transplants In HIV Patients Should Proceed But Drug Interactions Can Be Concern, Concludes Research At International Congress Of The Transplantation Society
While historically surgeons have been reluctant to transplant patients with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), in recent years, some centers have begun to accept patients with well-controlled HIV as candidates for liver or kidney transplantation. Based on results of three studies from the United States and one from France, which collectively... view more... (2002-08-20)
'Vioxx like' drugs may still be best option for arthritis, write scientists
Scientists believe that despite the current concerns around anti-inflammatory drugs like Vioxx, they may still be the best option for treating some forms of arthritis. view more (2006-01-19)
Pancreatic cancer: Researchers find drug that reverses resistance to chemotherapy
For the first time researchers have shown that by inhibiting the action of an enzyme called TAK-1, it is possible to make pancreatic cancer cells sensitive to chemotherapy, opening the way for the development of a new drug to treat the disease. view more (2009-09-24)
A potential anti-ulcer herb medicine: Rocket 'Eruca sativa'
Gastric ulcer is an illness that affects a considerable number of people worldwide. Although the introduction of proton-pump inhibitors to the classic anti-ulcer therapy has revolutionized treatment of peptic ulcers and other gastrointestinal disorders, there is still no complete cure for this disease. view more (2009-05-08)
Shield against assassin`s poison
Just a trace of ricin on the sharpened tip of an umbrella was enough to kill the Bulgarian dissident Georgi Markov, after an infamous attack on London`s Waterloo Bridge in 1978. Now a vaccine against this lethal toxin could soon be available - and it may be needed. "A big stash of ricin was found in the caves of Afghanistan," says Ellen Vitetta of... view more...

Two drugs may stabilize plaques in atherosclerosis
Two drugs that a Wake Forest University School of Medicine research team has been investigating for lupus for several years may stabilize atherosclerotic plaque in the walls of arteries and help avert heart attacks and strokes. view more (2006-11-13)
30 percent RA patients refractory to anti-TNFs achieve disease remission with tocilizumab plus metho
Tocilizumab plus methotrexate showed significant clinical improvements in efficacy and safety in patients with moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis (RA), who had not adequately responded to anti-tumour necrosis factor (anti-TNF) therapy. view more (2008-06-16)
Chronic diseases linked to falls in elderly women
Elderly women with chronic diseases, such as arthritis and depression, are at higher risk of falling, finds a study in this week's BMJ. In fact, chronic diseases may account for 30% of falls in this group. Researchers at the University of Bristol surveyed 4,050 women aged 60-79 years about whether they had had a fall in the previous 12 months, how... view more... (2003-09-24)
New arthritis drugs less likely to cause side effects
A new group of arthritis drugs recommended by NICE for patients at risk of gastrointestinal complications may be safer than traditional drugs, research in this week's BMJ suggests. Claims that the drugs, known as selective COX2 inhibitors, caused fewer gastrointestinal problems than traditional arthritis drugs led to an increase in their use, but... view more... (2002-09-18)
Unlicensed and off-label prescribing in children must improve
Many drugs prescribed to children in general practice are either not licensed for use in children ("unlicensed") or are prescribed outside the terms of the product licence ("off-label"). Three studies in this week's BMJ show that unlicensed and off-label prescription of drugs to children is common and carries a high risk of... view more... (2002-05-28)
Turning green gunk to gold, anti-cancer gold
Combining synthetic chemistry techniques with a knowledge of the properties and actions of enzymes, scientists have been able to produce an exciting class of anti-cancer drugs originally isolated from blue-green algae. view more (2007-01-10)
