Critical link in cell death pathway revealed
The role of a protein called XIAP in the regulation of cell death has been identified by Walter and Eliza Hall Institute researchers and has led them to recommend caution when drugs called IAP inhibitors are used to treat cancer patients with underlying liver conditions.   view more (2009-07-23)

Effectiveness of certain antidepressants may be influenced by gene variations of individuals
Whether specific types of antidepressants are effective for patients with late-life major depression may depend if they have certain genetic variations.   view more (2006-10-04)

Penn study points to how COX-2 inhibitors can eventually lead to heart disease
University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine researchers have found additional evidence that may help explain how selective inhibitors of COX-2 might predispose individuals to heart disease and stroke.   view more (2005-05-25)

Breast cancer awareness calls for cardiovascular awareness
Women who overcome breast cancer have every reason to celebrate. But a heart filled with joy may also be a heart damaged by life-saving cancer therapies, a growing body of research shows.   view more (2007-10-12)

COX-2 Inhibitors Significantly Reduce Risk of Cancer
Results from a new, five-year study show that regular use of popular prescription pain relievers may reduce the risk of breast cancer by up to 71 percent and may offer similar benefit in the prevention of prostate, colon and lung cancers.   view more (2006-04-04)

Disinfectants can make bacteria resistant to treatment
Chemicals used in the environment to kill bacteria could be making them stronger, according to a paper published in the October issue of the journal Microbiology. Low levels of these chemicals, called biocides, can make the potentially lethal bacterium Staphylococcus aureus remove toxic chemicals from the cell even more efficiently, potentially... view more...

Stopping unwanted cell death: Implications for drug discovery
Research published in Nature Chemical Biology reveals that three specific inhibitors of a cell death pathway, termed necroptosis, all target and inhibit RIP1 kinase, a protein that can direct cells into necrosis.   view more (2008-04-14)

Enzyme inhibitor may provide strategy to treat some GI disorders, Jefferson researchers find
Drugs that block the activity of an enzyme might hold a key to treating chronic and severe disorders such as certain forms of constipation, hemorrhoids, anal fissures, Hirschsprung's disease and other similar gastrointestinal problems.   view more (2006-07-19)

NEW DRUG TREATMENT COULD PROVIDE LONG-TERM BENEFIT FOR HEART-ATTACK PATIENTS (p 1385)
Patients with acute myocardial infarction (heart attack), complicated by left-ventricular systolic dysfunction, could benefit from the ß-blocker carvedilol, conclude authors of a study in this week's issue of THE LANCET. In a randomised, placebo-controlled trial, this drug reduced the frequency of death from all causes, death from... view more... (2001-05-03)

COX-2 inhibitor could be safest anti-inflammatory drug for older people (p 1751)
A Canadian study involving over 130,000 older people in this week's issue of THE LANCET shows how the anti-inflammatory cyclo-oxygenase-2 (COX-2) inhibitor celecoxib may have a lower risk of congestive heart failure compared with other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. Non-selective, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are... view more... (2004-05-26)

New information points to safer methadone use for treatment of pain and addiction
New findings may significantly improve the safety of methadone, a drug widely used to treat cancer pain and addiction to heroin and other opioid drugs, according to researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis and the University of Washington in Seattle.    view more (2009-03-03)

Use of acid-suppressive medications associated with increased risk of hospital-acquired pneumonia
Hospitalized patients who receive acid-suppressive medications such as a proton-pump inhibitor have a 30 percent increased odds of developing pneumonia while in the hospital.   view more (2009-05-27)

Potential Lung Disease Biomarkers Yield Clues to COX-2 Inhibitor Side Effects
In searching for a simple way to identify individuals with smoking-related lung injury, scientists at Weill Cornell Medical College have stumbled upon a potential explanation for why the class of pain-relievers known as COX-2 inhibitors increases the risk of heart problems among users.   view more (2009-04-30)

Aminoguanidine: An attractive line as a multi-modal avenue to overcome tumor
Aminoguanidine is a compound that exerts multiple biological actions. Aminoguanidine has well described antioxidant properties and is also an inhibitor of nitric oxide synthases, the enzymes that produce nitric oxide.   view more (2009-03-09)

Novel enzyme inhibitor paves way for new cancer drug
Combining natural organic atoms with metal complexes, scientists at The Wistar Institute have developed a new type of enzyme inhibitor capable of blocking a biochemical pathway that plays a key role in cancer development.   view more (2008-05-16)

Green tea and COX-2 inhibitors combine to slow growth of prostate cancer
Drinking a nice warm cup of green tea has long been touted for its healthful benefits, both real and anecdotal. But now researchers have found that a component of green tea, combined with low doses of a COX-2 inhibitor, could slow the spread of human prostate cancer.   view more (2007-03-01)

Researchers Debate Recreational Use of PDE-5 Inhibitors
Leaders in the field of sexual medicine will actively debate the use of oral pills for erectile dysfunction (ED) at the 7th Congress of the European Society for Sexual Medicine in London, UK.   view more (2004-12-01)

Jefferson scientists show 'miracle' cancer drug Gleevec can be toxic to the heart
Gleevec, the wildly successful poster-child of a new generation of cancer drugs aimed at specific targets in the cancer cell, can be dangerous to the heart. Not only that, but other similarly based drugs - called tyrosine kinase inhibitors - could lead to heart problems as well.   view more (2006-07-24)

Van Andel Institute Study Rules Out Transcriptional Coactivators as Useful Herpes Antiviral Drug Targets
Researchers at Van Andel Research Institute (VARI) have determined that the herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) does not require transcriptional coactivators for viral gene expression early in the infection process. The finding is significant in determining that, in contradiction to earlier models, chemical inhibitors of these cellular proteins... view more... (2009-03-26)
