Abstract:
Disclosed herein is a cancer sensitizer comprising glucosamine, a glucosamine derivative, or a salt thereof. When administered to patients with cancer, the cancer sensitizer functions to sensitize cancer cells to anticancer agents without producing side effects, thereby increasing the therapeutic efficiency of chemotherapy.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to ethacrynic acid and a transglutaminase inhibitor comprising a pharmaceutically acceptable salt of ethacrynic acid; more particularly, to ethacrynic acid for inhibiting the activity of transglutaminase involved in the pathogenesis of diseases in cases of altered expression, a transglutaminase inhibitor comprising a pharmaceutically acceptable salt of ethacrynic acid, and to a novel use of thereof. According to the present invention, there are provided ethacrynic acid, a transglutaminase inhibitor comprising active components of a pharmaceutically acceptable salt of ethacrynic acid and a transglutaminase inhibition method. The present ethacrynic acid, transglutaminase inhibitor comprising a pharmaceutically acceptable salt of ethacrynic acid or ethacrynic acid itself, and transglutaminase inhibition method provide a safer application without side effects to a patient having a disease where altered expression of transglutaminase is observed, thereby providing the inhibitory effect on transglutaminase.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method for inhibiting transglutaminase 2 activity using 2-alkyloxy-3-phenylethynyl-4a,5-dihydropyrido[2,3-b]pyrazine derivatives.
Abstract:
Disclosed herein is a novel use of glucosamine or a derivative thereof. A pharmaceutical composition for treating atopic dermatitis comprising glucosamine or a derivative thereof and a method of treating atopic dermatitis using the composition are disclosed. The pharmaceutical composition and the method realize the safe treatment of atopic dermatitis without the side effects associated with conventional anti-inflammatory drugs.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a cancer sensitizer comprising chlorogenic acid or a derivative thereof. In particular, the present invention relates to a cancer sensitizer comprising chlorogenic acid or a derivative thereof, which can make cancer cells sensitive to anticancer agents to increase the therapeutic effect of anticancer agents. In addition, the present invention relates to a composition for inhibiting the chemo-resistance of cancer cells, comprising chlorogenic acid or a derivative thereof in combination with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, an anticancer composition comprising an anticancer agent in addition to the composition, and a method for disrupting the chemo-resistance of cancer cells, comprising administration of the cancer sensitizer.
