[Cyclic hydroxamic acids as chemosensitizers in cytostatic therapy]
Abstract:
In experimental animals with tumors it was studied antitumor activity of spirocyclic hydroxamic acids which could be classified as targeted agents as their target was enzyme histonedeacetylase, which was involved in the neoplastic process. The results showed that the hydroxamic acids were chemosensitizers for anticancer agents increasing their efficacy and enabling the researchers to reduce significantly the therapeutic dose. Also it was showed that hydroxamic acid, containing nitrogen mustard, was effective in the action on tumors with phenotype and genotype of multidrug resistance.

M-Cdk Drives Transition Into Mitosis
Cyclin-dependent kinases, or Cdks, work in concert with cyclins to control cell cycle transitions. M-Cdk, a complex of Cdk1 bound to M cyclin, is a well-known example of this coordinated control that drives the transition from the G2 to the M phase.
