The aim of this research was to evaluate the effects of different lens types on the availability and efficacy of anti-inflammatory and antibiotic drugs. Three lens types were examined: (1) nonionic hydrogel lenses; (2) ionic hydrogel lenses; and (3) silicone hydrogel lenses. The lenses were incubated with (a) dexamethasone; (b) betamethasone;...

Pyrimido-pyrimidine derivatives have been developed as rigid merbarone analogues. In a previous study, these compounds showed potent antiproliferative activity and efficiently inhibited topoisomerase IIα. To further extend the structure–activity relationships on pyrimido-pyrimidines, a novel series of analogues was synthesized by a two-step...

A series of highly functionalized pyrazole derivatives has been prepared by a one-pot, versatile and regioselective procedure. Pyrazoles 1–29 were tested in cell-based assay to assess their antiproliferative activity against a panel of tumour cells. Additionally, the cytotoxicity of prepared compounds was evaluated against normal human...

Background: Cancer tissue is characterized by low oxygen availability triggering neo angiogenesis and metastatisation. Accordingly, oxidation is a possible strategy for counteracting cancer progression and relapses. Previous studies used ozone gas, administered by invasive methods, both in experimental animals and clinical studies, transiently...
