Article Abstract

Cyclophosphamide is an alkylating agent widely used from cancer chemotherapy to immunotherapy purposes. In paediatrics oncology, oral cyclophosphamide prescribed at low dosages for a long time treatment is currently investigated. This treatment is a putative well tolerated regimen for children treated for a wide variety of recurrent solid tumours. For these purposes, new oral formulations more convenient for children than cyclophosphamide 50mg tablets are needed. Thus, we present a rapid method for the assay of cyclophosphamide in various pharmaceutical preparations using high-performance thin-layer chromatography (HPTLC) and derivatization with phosphomolybdic acid. This method is accurate and precise and allows quantitation of cyclophosphamide in aqueous solutions from 400 to 1200 microg/mL. It is suitable for quantitation and stability studies of cyclophosphamide in pharmaceutical products, i.e. capsules and infusion bags prepared in a hospital pharmacy. According to pharmaceutical guidelines, we demonstrated that low dose cyclophosphamide capsules, extemporaneously prepared for children, are stable at least for 70 days.

Objective: This study aimed to probe the role of Shenling Baizhu powder (SLBZP) in inhibiting breast cancer (BC) lung metastasis, focusing on epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and ferroptosis.

Methods: BC 4T1 cells were treated with low (3.13 µg/mL) and high (12.

Cyclophosphamide (CP), an anti-cancer drug, causes oxidative stress, inflammation, apoptosis and fibrosis in liver. Verbenone (VRB), a bicyclic monoterpene ketone, having antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and anti-apoptotic properties, was selected to investigate its efficiency in reversing CP-induced hepatotoxicity. We hypothesized that VRB having good antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and anti-apoptotic properties, might neutralize the CP-induced toxicity and offer liver protection.

Background: Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) in unselected sarcomas yield limited response rates and tumor control. Long-term responders have however been reported, suggesting a critical challenge in refining patient selection, by identifying reliable predictive factors for response.

Methods: The authors conducted a multicenter, retrospective study of patients with advanced sarcomas treated with ICIs in six French reference sarcoma centers.

This study aims to establish the S_(180) tumor-bearing mice model, and to investigate the influence of Shenqi Erpi Granules(SQEPG) on immune function, as well as the drug's tumor-suppressive effect and mechanism. SPF grade KM mice(half male and half female) were randomly divided into 6 groups: a control group, a model group, a cyclophosphamide group(50 mg·kg~(-1)), as well as SQEPG groups in low-, medium-, and high-dose(5.25, 10.

A high-performance liquid chromatography with diode array detection (HPLC-DAD) method was developed and validated to quantify puerarin encapsulated in exosome-like nanoparticles derived from Pueraria lobata (ENsP). The method demonstrated high specificity, excellent linearity (r = 0.9999), and low limits of detection (LOD: 0.
