Abstract
Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) have as their common mechanism the inhibition of cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes, of which two isoforms (COX-1 and COX-2) exist. The effect of NSAIDs on chemoprevention and tumor regression has been shown in animal models, epidemiologic studies, and in treatment of patients. The exact biochemical and cellular mechanisms underlying each of these phenomena is only partially understood. Processes that have been recently implicated as being important include the inhibition of tumor cell growth, prevention of angiogenesis, and induction of apoptosis in neoplastic cells.

Chalcogen-modified nucleic acid analogues
Chalcogen-modified nucleosides, nucleotides and oligonucleotides have been of great interest to scientific research for many years. The replacement of oxygen in the nucleobase, sugar or phosphate backbone by chalcogen atoms (sulfur, selenium, tellurium) gives these biomolecules unique properties resulting from their altered physical and chemical properties. The continuing interest in ...read more
