Biomarkers in airway tumors

Despite advances and improvements in diagnosis and treatment of upper aerodigestive tumors including head and neck and lung cancers, the overall survival rate of these patients remains poor. Prevention, early diagnosis, and novel therapy are under active investigation to improve the outcome of the diseases. In particular, chemopreventive strategy is a novel approach to reduce the invasive tumors by reversing the premalignant lesions with certain differentiating agents (i.e., retinoids). To conduct effective chemopreventive trials, there has been a great surge of interest in defining the biomarkers associated with the specific stages of the carcinogenesis and with intermediate end points during the therapy. Carcinogenesis in the upper aerodigestive tract has been explained by two theories, field cancerization and multistep process. The driving forces behind these processes are noted by accumulated genetic abnormalities in the entire epithelium of the airway. These genetic abnormalities include chromosome abnormalities, specific gene alterations (i.e., ras gene family, tumor suppressor genes, growth factors and their receptors), and proliferation and differentiation markers. These biomarkers are herein described in this review article.     

A study on analysis of particle size distribution

Analysis of particle size distribution of a sample of fine aluminum hydroxide powder was carried out by four different methods,i. e., conductivity, air permeability, gas-adsorption and sedimentation. Each method was reproducible. The results obtained by Coulter counter and sedimentation balance were similar, and the data obtained by Lea and Nurse permeameter and Stroehlein areameter were also similar. But the results differ considerably between the former and the latter. The advantages and disavantages of each method were discussed briefly and a means of comparing the results with those obtained by surface area measurements was shown.     

Phase II clinical trial of 4′-O-Tetrahydropyranyl-Adriamycin (THP-Adriamycin) in recurrent squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck

Summary Fourteen patients previously treated with surgery, radiotherapy, and/or chemotherapy for primary squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck were treated with 4-O-tetrahydropyranyl-Adriamycin (THP-adriamycin) for locally or distantly recurrent disease. The starting dose was 60 mg/m² by i.v. infusion, with courses repeated every 3 to 4 weeks. A total of 34 courses of treatment were delivered (median, 2; range, 1–6). All patients were evaluable for response and toxicity. There were no responses. Severe (grade 3 or 4) neutropenia occurred in 11 patients. Thrombocytopenia, anemia, and gastrointestinal toxicity were modest, and no hepatic, renal, or cardiac toxicity was observed. The lack of response in association with severe neutropenia and moderate other toxicities using this dose and schedule of THP-Adriamycin should be taken into consideration prior to the pursuit of further study of this compound in a similar patient population.     

Synthesis of hexaprofen [2-(4-cyclohexylphenyl) propionic acid]

A novel preparative method for hexaprofen, which is a potent antiinflammatory agent, is described. Friedel-Crafts reaction of cyclohexylbenzene with ethyl α-chloro-α-(methylthio) acetate1 and α-chloro-α-(methylthio) acetonitrile2 afforded ethyl 2-(methylthio)-2-(4-cyclohexylphenyl) acetate7 and 2-methylthio-2-(4-cyclohexylphenyl) acetonitrile8, respectively. Compounds7 and8 were converted into the corresponding ethyl 2-methylthio-2-(4-cyclohexylphenyl) propionate9 and 2-methylthio-2-(4-cyclohexylphenyl) propionitrile10 by methylation with sodium hydride and methyl iodide. Hexaprofen13 was prepared by hydrolysis of ethyl 2-(4-cyclohexylphenyl) propionate11 and of 2-(4-cyclohexylphenyl) propionitrile12 followed by desulfurization of compounds9 and10.
