• platinum
  12 June 2005

  The accidental discovery of the anticancer properties of cisplatin and its clinical introduction in the 1970s represent a major landmark in the history of successful anticancer drugs.
  Although carboplatin—a second-generation analogue that is safer but shows a similar spectrum of activity to cisplatin—was introduced in the 1980s, the pace of further improvements slowed for many years.
  However, in the past several years interest in platinum drugs has increased.
  Key developments include the (...)

• Sulindac
  31 May 2007

  Sulindac is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug.
  It has been reported to be effective in suppressing tumor growth through the induction of p21WAF1/cip1 in human, animal models of colon cancer and colon cancer cells.
  The efficiency of sulindac in the inhibition of cell proliferation (other than the induction of apoptosis) may be through the suppression of beta-catenin pathway in human breast and lung cancer cell (...)
