Optimizing a Novel Regional Chemotherapeutic Agent against Melanoma: Hyperthermia-Induced Enhancement of Temozolomide Cytotoxicity

Abstract: Purpose: Previous preclinical studies have shown that regional temozolomide therapy via isolated limb infusion is more effective than melphalan, the current drug of choice for regional chemotherapy for advanced extremity melanoma. The aim of this study was to determine whether hyperthermia could further augment the efficacy of temozolomide, an alkylating agent, against melanoma and improve its therapeutic index in a rat model of isolated limb infusion. Experimental Design: Athymic rats bearing s.c. human melan… Show more

“…Therefore, several researchers have correlated antitumor efficacy with reduction in Ki-67 expression. 28,29 The observed reduction of Ki-67 expression in our study also establishes antitumor efficacy of Dex-LSMO nanoparticles-mediated hyperthermia.…”

“…These approaches also allow delivery of chemotherapy under hyperthermic conditions, suggested by some studies to improve efficacy of cytotoxic agents, [149][150][151][152][153][154] but also associated with increased toxicity. 155,156 These approaches are limited to patients with regional metastases confined to an extremity.…”

“…This pattern was not observed in the six BRaf WT cell lines. In vivo response to sorafenib in combination with melphalan or temozolomide isolated limb infusion The ability of sorafenib to enhance the effects of high-dose regionally infused chemotherapy was examined in our rat xenograft model of extremity melanoma (33,34) using the DM443 cell line, which was moderately sensitive to sorafenib in vitro (Fig. 1A), moderately sensitive to melphalan both in vitro (Fig.…”
