Anti-angiogenics: a novel class of drugs against solid tumors
Researchers at the University of Minnesota have developed novel anti-cancer drugs to treat solid tumors. These "small molecules" belong to a class of pharmaceutical agents called anti-angiogenics. The new compounds are a refined form of drugs that effectively reduce blood flow to the tumor, thereby inhibiting tumor growth.

Rituximab effective in treating chronic graft-versus-host disease
A study by Dana-Farber Cancer Institute researchers offers the strongest evidence yet of the effectiveness of a novel therapy for chronic graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), a potentially life-threatening complication of donor bone marrow and stem cell transplants.

Tarvacin effective in controlling Pancreatic Cancer
Peregrine Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Nasdaq: PPHM), a biopharmaceutical company with a portfolio of innovative, clinical-stage product candidates for viral diseases and cancer, today announced preclinical results showing that 3G4, the mouse equivalent of Tarvacin(TM) Anti-Cancer, was effective at controlling the growth and spread of pancreatic cancer as a single agent and had significantly enhanced efficacy when combined with the standard-of-care chemotherapy gemcitabine.

Latest Research : Pharmacology : Anti Cancer Drugs : Rituximab
Rituximab maintenance therapy dramatically improves survival in lymphoma
Two years of maintenance therapy with MabThera (rituximab) dramatically improves the chances of survival for patients suffering from one of the most frequent forms of lymphoma, indolent non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma (NHL). The trial showed that the risk of death is halved for patients who receive MabThera maintenance therapy, compared to those who receive no maintenance treatment, irrespective of their initial therapy. “We are conscious that these results open a new era in the management of indolent NHL“, said William M. Burns, CEO of the Pharmaceuticals Division at Roche. “Maintenance therapy with MabThera showed unprecedented survival benefits in a serious cancer disease which is currently considered incurable.”

Balancing Chk1 activity might produce less toxic cancer drugs
A study published by The Burnham Institute in the September edition of Molecular Cell reports that a cell-cycle checkpoint protein, known to be activated by an important class of anticancer drugs, may play crucial roles in both the hampering of therapeutic actions and aiding cancer cells to "recover" and start dividing again after treatment with these drugs. The study is expected to help academic researchers and biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies design drugs that combat cancer using this checkpoint protein, but with fewer side effects.
